The brief
A small Bristol label presses slow, nocturnal records in short runs and keeps every one in print. It wants a site that feels like its music, makes the catalogue fun to browse and sends fans to pre-orders and gigs.
Our approach
- 1Built the catalogue as a stack of record sleeves: drag one aside, or use the arrow keys, to reveal the next release.
- 2Kept the palette to night-time ink with a single amber glow, and let motion carry the mood instead of extra imagery.
- 3Listed the roster with release counts and gave live dates a clear table by artist, venue and city.
