( about the project — )
8MANA – “Sorry Julia” LP (in association with Leeds College of Music).
Band Identity & LP Sleeve Design for an 8 strong, Leeds based electronic outfit, 8MANA. Hand “glitched” code-based, space invaders inspired / C64 inspired typography. The Cover design is an abstracted letter of apology to their (then) neighbour, Julia as the band recorded the album at home!
“8MANAs’ debut release, ‘Sorry Julia’, features an 8 track digital release and 7 tracks across a single slab of 12 inch vinyl. From ZAAB’s spectral soundscapes to Tomwynne’s tweaked out vocal manipulations to MOEGLI’s thunderous bass lines and Clerk 37’s frozen fades – from the robo-booty of Phrixus, to Zealey’s atmospherics and dark lyricism & DULAHLI’s Jazz-tinged, motoric ride, this release is raw, diverse UK electronica.”
