Inspired by 1970s Lucky dip bags and children’s tv. I have designed a mock-up, limited addition single, that contains two song and some bonus items. The single Would eventually be random, and you would not know which two songs, stickers, badges, sweets, or postcard you’d get.
I chose six specific songs where two songs do not currently belong to an existing EP or Album (Father Before Me & Little Bird Sing) one was one of their first songs (BRB) and the remaining three all belong to a separate EP or Album which they also share their cover art with (Grandad, Beryl, Don’t Send Me Messages).
Side A: Little Bird Sing - Side B: Father Before Me
Side A: Beryl - Side B: Grandad
Side A: BRB - Side B: Don’t Send Me Messages
Little Bird Sing = A teddy bear that is wearing a bowler hat to reference the music video and lyrics.
Father Before Me = Top hat referencing existing cover art.
Beryl = Clown referencing a past theme and Sylvia sings and misbehaves
Grandad = The brothers referencing an existing cover art.
BRB = Robot refencing lyrics and original black mirror inspiration.
Don’t Send Me Messages = A rotary phone that would suggest talking rather than texting.
