country flomm: ‘i’ve got a munkie on my back’

Some­times you lose yourself,
then when you find your­self again,
you re­al­ize that kid you’ve been run­nin’ away from, is your best self.

Here’s my coun­try music.”

—Chelsea Dawn
 


 

FLOM­MIST Chelsea Dawn Davis’ new al­bum is stream­ing all over. And she has a new page on Facebook.

We’ve been col­lab­o­rat­ing on projects for over 10 years now – when peo­ple say I have a ‘dif­fer­ent drum­mer,’ she’s the drummer. 

Chelsea’s jump into coun­try land­ed an al­bum de­sign on my desk. 

To start, I used pho­tos she snapped on the road. And went for a vibe based on ‘vin­tage’ sit­com let­ter­ing she ran across:

I re­mem­bered this was a vari­a­tion of the ty­pog­ra­phy from the in­sane­ly cool Lib­by­land din­ners I ate as a kid. I used to send them fan mail and they’d send me even in­sane­ly cool­er shit in the mail. 

On my end, I want­ed to do a dis­tinct lo­go­type in­spired by wat Chica­go did on their al­bums. Some­thing 3D that would read well at smoller stream­ing sizes.

This video showed up along the way with the type again: 

I didn’t want to use the goofy ‘Ch’ as was typ­i­cal in the 70s (see the first scene). Also I want­ed some­thing lighter, the weight of this type al­ways bugged me; so I re­drew it, adapt­ing let­ters from an­oth­er some­what re­lat­ed 1970s re­vival of a 19th cen­tu­ry type­face.

All for just the right vibe.

Munkie.
 

And here’s this week’s FLOM­MIS­CHEN playlist where I mixed Chelsea in amongst some of the greats. Be­cause, frankly, that’s where she re­al­ly belongs.


 

Look­ing for­ward to Chelsea’s next move: Which may be some sort of tour (don’t have deets yet). But we’ll be post­ing info as always.
