I thought that it would be fun to design some postcards for the different cities that my band, JP & the Gilberts, visited on our tour in the Summer of 2011.
Abacus released it’s debut self-titled album in April, 2010. I based the album cover design on the columns of beads on an actual abacus. The blind impressions on the front cover on bright white paper give a sense of sterility that fits with the music and the lab coats worn by the band at live performances.
The cover was letterpressed by Mark Herschede at Haven Press Studios in Brooklyn, NY. Albums are for sale for $15. Send us an email at abacus@abacusabacus.com and we’ll send one your way. You may also purchase a digital version of the album at abacus.bandcamp.com for $5.
