About the concept
The postcard features a dual-sided design that effectively captures the band's unique musical identity and thematic elements. This is visually supported by the mixed imagery of both the landscape and the band members. Snowy landscape with a dilapidated car in the foreground and mountains in the back-ground. This stark and somewhat melancholic scene sets a contemplative mood, aligning with the band's introspective and poignant lyrical themes. The postcard design reflects the band's musical fusion by combining nostalgic visual elements with modern touches. The background of the text includes a faded, grayscale image of the band members, which adds a personal touch and visual connection to the band. The subtlety of the image ensures that the text remains the focal point while still providing a glimpse of the band's identi-ty. The imagery and fonts chosen resonate with the band's blend of 90s song simplicity and contemporary ethereal soundscapes. The desolate landscape and subdued color palette mirror the band's exploration of life's complexities and melancholic themes. This visual representation enhances the emotional depth conveyed through their music.
