Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey are two of the most revered and successful Australian artists of the last 30 years. THE DELUGE, their extraordinary new adventure with a killer international band, FANNING DEMPSEY NATIONAL PARK, is their instant classic debut.
For both artists, THE DELUGE explores new terrain. Ethereal synths, robotic pulses, thwacking drums, stabbing (faux) horns. A cold, shiny sonic landscape softened by two of the most impassioned and distinctive voices in Australian rock, it’s a synergy both familiar and radically evolved.
We had the privilege of collaborating with iconic Australian artists to design the band’s logo, album, and single artwork.
”The beautiful artwork is a perfect blend of the organic and synthetic elements of the album. When you look at it you can see sound waveforms but also water and mountains and undulating terrain.” — Paul Dempsey
“The cover design captures the minimalist approach we took to the recording of the album. Minimal information for maximum impact.” — Bernard Fanning
Inspired by the bold sound of Paul and Bernard’s new album, we transformed the visual essence of synth waveforms into a minimalist cover that we felt had a timeless quality. The artwork aims to echo the album’s sonic beauty and also paints an abstract landscape of mountains, hills, and rivers.
