Western Democracy – “Angeles City Blues” single cover
This new artwork, again utilising false colours and solarising post imaging effects, employs inanityUKMusic’s ‘house’ fonts, Bauhaus 93 and Trajan. For the main track title, I used Proxima Nova, one of the official typefaces of Los Angeles City.
The lower use of the font is in a variety of sizes, mainly due to my poor visual skills. I tried a fix and it seems to not have worked.
The music is a response to the incredible scenes on TV news currently coming from Los Angeles.
The art is garish but contains a selected series of frames of TV footage of a skateboarder walking from exploding tear gas canisters before turning to deliver his rebuke.
The music is a funk/blues-rock vibe – I hope anyone in Los Angeles might appreciate the small gesture of solidarity it is intended to convey. You can listen to it at Old Magnolia Studios.
