Giant Crow is a hamburg based alternative country and rock band and the successor of Raindance Kid. The ladder already appeared on a soundtrack CD released on cosirecords, so the small boutique label decided to release their first record under their new moniker.
The namesake, a giant crow, appears on different parts of the album artwork. It was important to deliver a unique artwork, that does not feel or look like a record by Wovenhand or other, very american folk-rooted US-records, so the design focused more on the rougher backgrounds of the band – Shoegaze, 90s Alternative Rock, Gothic influences. To achive such, the whole appearance is a bit rough, washy, and reduced to two colours (except for a sparkle of orange on the cover).
Coming with a lyric sheet, the semi-transparent vinyl comes in an inside-out printed sleeve, which enhances the haptic, country-like feel of the packaging.
