Graphic Design: More great record sleeves from Jack Featherstone

Remember when Jack Featherstone and Will Samuel made this music video for James Holden? The one that reminded you of that time you breathed too much pagan dust at that sacrificial rave you went to at Stone Henge on the solstice. Well, Jack’s been busy since making record sleeves that mirror that exact vibe. Featuring in Pitchfork’s Best Album Artwork of 2013, Jack’s mystic work for Holden has successfully secured his place as one of the most wanted album artwork designers. His other new stuff’s bloody brilliant too.
