Torpid May cd cover

Torpid May is a indie post-rock band based in NY. They create suspenseful, melodic rock that moves from sublime to forceful, and then coalesces into an ambient collage splintering the past and soaring to a sonic wonder.

I've been asked to design a cd cover for they latest album. The illustration intended to depict the noise, texture and chaotic atmosphere of the sound they are trying to create. The typographic treatment was inspired from the title of the cd to enhance the distortion and the psychedelic nature of the illustration.
