Besides

I guess this is a track about sex. Fall-back sex. The song turned out really well. Composed by Rakat, and sung by Mohua.

we'll walk out
of this room
sometime soon
sometime soon
but not in
in monsoon,
sometime soon
sometime soon
we'll make poetry today
softly quill it on our backs
as the rain taps the glass
windowed in
windowed in
windowed in
beside me
besides it's raining
let it be
hold me back
like you always do
drag me in
sit me down beside you
and you never believe me
we always hold it up
but you always need me
when you're out of luck

windowed in
windowed in
windowed in
beside me

Job complete.

So Indalo's launching turned out great. The booklet was "super" appreciated. People are loving the album, and I received much appreciation for the designs as well. I didn't know that so many people are conscious about graphic design in general. I mean, when people don't see artwork, it's usually not design to most of them.

Anyways, the experience was swell, and the funny part is that last year around this time the first album I art directed was up for grabs [The Crowd's - You're Not Allowed To Say No]. That's really what got me this gig as well. It's rare to come across design jobs that you can actually artistically get involved in. So I was really happy with how things turned out.

The booklet features photography from Kazi Ferdous Pavel, Swami Ma Banyan, and A J Ghani. It also features calligraphy and hand lettering done by SomeArtJunkie. Most importantly, the Indalo Dog which is featured on the merch, and as the CD art was created by Pretty Shitty Art. It was great working with such different material.
