Where does pop start and experimental music end? Instead of drawing lines, Red On keeps on exploring the spaces in between these supposed poles with his latest album Phantom Easy, out via Präsens Editionen. A record that offers moments of pure beauty as well as unpredictable, uncontrollable wilderness.
The design by Philipp Dittmar also plays with two poles: The photography of Meike Männel and the future 3D works of long time collaborator Sabrina Zeltner. The resulting mythical visual world fits perfectly with the elegant yet contemporary look of Kaj Lehmann’s ABC Synt. Dark Academia by Céline Hurka is given a special role: the single letter A, which marks the first side of the vinyl, is more of an illustration. Credits and infos are set in TWK Lausanne by Nizar Kazan.
The graphic concept also extends to the video for the single “Wildlife”, as well as posters for the audiovisual release tour and shirts.
