Man Alive! is the fourth studio album by English singer-songwriter Archy Marshall, and his third album under the stage name King Krule. King Krule is an English singer, songwriter, musician, rapper and record producer. King Krule's music is a combination of many genres like punk jazz, jazz fusion, darkwave, post-punk, hip-hop, etc. He is known for his haunting voice and gritty lyrics.
I created a vinyl for Man Alive! The design is bold and dynamic. I created illustrations based off the visuals provided for music videos of songs like "Comet Face", "(Don't Let The Dragon) Draag On", and "Alone, Omen 3. " I choose haunting images like him being burnt at the at the stake and with blood pouring out of his mouth to convey how tormented the album felt. Type is always moving in some direction. The illustrations' rough mark making shows movement. Bright complementary colors of blue and orange make the design stand out. The Poster Cut Neue font has a heavy weight and rough edges that reflects the grittiness of King Krule.
