Just on the heels of finishing up the first Archers of Loaf reissue (Icky Mettle), I had the pleasure of working with Eric Bachmann on another project: Crooked Fingers’ Merge homecoming: Breaks in the Armor. And a pleasure it was—the record is fantastic and Eric is organized, fun, and savvy to the design process. He had seen some drawings that illustrator Greg Betza made during a performance and couldn’t get them out of his head. I asked Greg to add color and voilà. I like the analogy between drawing and audio recording. The drawing on the cover and the record within are, in fact, both recordings of a Crooked Fingers performance. The record is out October 11. There’s a video trailer on the Merge site.
