Eis um excerto:
«How did you go about creating the artwork for Doomsdayer’s Holiday?
All of the album art belongs to the found-collage realm. It’s an incredibly powerful medium to work in. I’m not an illustrator, so it allows us to visually express exactly what we want to, rather than relying on some party external to the process.
Was there a design philosophy behind the art?
If there’s a design philosophy, it’s probably just one of anti-design. The goal is to come up with images that are compelling enough to be left alone. Images that can be presented and then just left for the viewer to deal with.
I totally love the archival vibe that records used to have, like the way all of my Epic Records tapes when I was a kid had that same ugly blocky red font on the spine, you know? Album art that’s too slick and over-designed just seems to reveal that the music is striving only to be a consumable product.
Where did the cover image come from?
I have no idea where the main cover image came from. It’s been sitting in a cracked picture frame in [drummer Emil Amos'] living room for several years. We always knew that it would be made into a record cover when the time came.»

Artigo completo AQUI. Além do artwork completo do mais recente Doomsdayer's Holiday, há também uma pequena lista de capas de álbuns que marcaram Alex Hall. Interessante.
