We were blown away by Tappin Gofton's album work for Everything Everything

On their Wikipedia page (never say I’m not committed to research) Everything Everything singer Jonathan Higgs is quoted as saying: “We’re not really interested in copying certain genres or anything, so I guess you’d say it’s unpredictable and sort of surprising.” That philosophy applies equally neatly to Tapin Gofton’s new campaign for the band which wowed us as soon as it dropped in our inbox this week. With the distinctive but unfussy design and superb photography by the brilliant Nadav Kander these are, even at this late stage, strong contenders for our favourite album artwork of the year.

A portrait of a person wearing a white knitted jumper against a plain background. Their face is sliced and shifted horizontally, creating a disjointed, collage effect. An orange border frames the image, with the text “EVERYTHING EVERYTHING” and “KEMOSABE” written vertically.
