BITBL008 – The Fur Coats – Goddamn, I’m a Handsome Man 7″

The latest from Artistic Integrity Records is a collaboration with two other labels: Seven Dead Arson Records and Dirt Cult Records. They are The Fur Coats – a Chicago power pop band from people who have brought you bands like Das Kapital, The Traitors, No Empathy, Devon Kay & the Sollutions, and Direct Hit! To steal a review from another site: “If you like garage and pop punk The Fur Coats is a band you should check out, it’s catchy as hell but not your generic pop punk.”

For the sleeve of these test presses, I drew some inspiration from the recent Local Natives record sleeve for their album ‘Hummingbird.’ It had a die-cut slip cover and after seeing it, I wanted to try something similar for something of my own.

These turned out exactly like I expected, and I love different layers that came through on the final product. Enjoy.
