The band was looking for something that felt timeless, handcrafted, and steeped in a kind of quiet romanticism that echoed the spirit of the record. As a creative studio rooted in tactile design and visual storytelling, we were brought on to develop and produce the artwork from concept to final execution.

We knew early on that the album's title deserved to be rendered with a sense of elegance and permanence. For that, we partnered with King Street Sign Co. to create a reverse glass gilded sign featuring the band’s name and album title in hand-applied 23k gold leaf. This element became the physical centerpiece of the shoot—more than typography, it was an artifact. We explored a range of compositions using the gilded glass, photographing it in different lighting conditions and paired with a series of visual vignettes.

Ultimately, the final image came together in the early morning hours in the basement of 190 Bar in Newburgh, NY—a local haunt with just the right amount of atmosphere. We staged a table with a curated collection of antiques, props, and personal effects to feel like a still life pulled from another time. The gilded glass sign leaned in the background, catching just enough light to glow. Shot on location in the literal "wee small hours," the final photograph captures the introspective tone of the record while grounding it in something tactile and real. The result is a cover that feels as considered and intimate as the music itself.
