Low Red Land - 3 CDs.

The whole reason I started printing was because I wanted to be able to make things for our band, Low Red Land. When I first started, it was mostly shirts (which I'll get to posting later, maybe), and when we decided to release a limited acoustic EP, it seemed as good of a time as any to branch into packaging. I carved a linoleum block and made of bunch of these:

We decided to limit them to 333 copies, and each one is a little different. There were a lot of color variations, achieved by mixing inks and printing multiple colors on top of one another. They all turned out pretty cool, but I didn't clearcoat any of them, so a lot of people ended up getting ink on their hands if they held the case too long. Whoops.

Before we went on tour in the fall of 2007, we decided to put a "demo EP" together so we'd have something new to give people. The songs were culled from the first Dog's Hymns session, and then eventually scrapped when we re-recorded the whole album (it's a long story). This was my first attempt at silkscreening multiple colors. As you can see, my registration kind of sucked.

There were 50 made with silver tentacles, and 100 made with green tentacles. All around, it isn't the most interesting thing in the world, but it's good for context, I suppose.

After recording Dog's Hymns again, we were about to head out on tour for a few months in the fall of 2008. The album wasn't due back from the pressing plant in time for the first leg of the tour, so I printed 100 copies with entirely different artwork.

The two-color front turned out really well, and though the three-color back had a slight registration issue, I was pretty happy with it.

All of these are long gone, but the music is available in several places, so if you're interested, get on it. (I would also like to say that Stumptown Printers makes awesome, printable packaging. Check them out. They're sick.)
