Cape Sleep - Video Days

Enter your text hereThe design for Video Days by Cape Sleep was inspired by its rich stories, warm memories, dreaming and distant travels. Brimming with saturated red and pink tones. The typography emphasises the poetic qualities in the lyrics. Dreamy crops of the beautiful photos by Kazunari Isshiki make you dive deeper into the stories. Vinyl and CD each have a unique design....

‘Video Days’, is brimming with nostalgia; an unabashed love letter to past pop culture with never-ending references to everything from old Westerns and 90’sDisney movies to REO Speedwagon songs and Lerner and Loewe musicals.

Under a shower of shimmering synths, muted disco guitars blend with warm piano’s, stomping drums and the occasional lost harpsichord and boys choir. Thealbum breezes through a revolving door of vignettes with characters waxing existential and generally wallowing in melodrama as they spend summers alone inextravagant hotels, float across the Goldilocks Zone, rub shoulders with stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, and sneak into natural history museumdioramas.
