We’re looking for help photographing the cover artwork for our Debut Album. IMPORTANT! PLEASE RSVP to thefieldrecordings@gmail.com to let us know you’re coming! Tell your friends! We need all the help we can get!

THE PHOTO:
The Photo will consist of dozens of young men & young women in Funeral Dress (Black Suits/white shirts/black ties for Men, Black dresses & the sundry other things we don’t even know the names of for Women), smiling & laughing while running through the park in a close procession on a sunny/blue day. The leader of the crowd will be waving a large white flag bearing the “Cultural Ouroboros“ symbol, 5 or 6 white “surrender” flags will be scattered amongst the crowd.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE PHOTO:
The name of the record (“THE ELASTIC NOSTALGIA”), we think, is a perfect label for the kind of corrosive white-washing/deification of our childhoods, coupled with the collective sense of unease about our particular future in the first of the Sci-Fi Decades (TWENTY-TEN). So, the album cover photo will sum up the title in one perfect image.

The general idea/Hobby Science Theory is that the “Cultural Ouroboros” flag at the front of the crowd symbolizes a generation running towards and surrendering to a future of Unoriginality. Acceptance of Cross-Promotion, Brand-Building, Acidic Boredom, Spiritual Exhaustion, the long life in the Post-Discovery world… ETC.”

Thanks for Reading, & any Help You can Give is Greatly Appreciated,
