Manic Fever

Visual recognition should feel as visceral as the music itself.

Manic Fever is about trying to stay afloat. Politics, disease, the churn of the internet, and the weight of what it means to be a person moving through it all. So much noise that clarity becomes an act of will. The cover is what that feels like. Everything pressing in at once. Two colors. Warm and suffocating in equal measure. The combination was fixating. Nothing else fit.

Twelve tracks. Twelve illustrations. The back cover gives each song its own image. Every song deserved its own world. Contained, specific, part of the same noise.
