Voices of Youth Rebrand

Voices of Youth Identity from Hyperakt on Vimeo.

Oh, hey! Remember me? I used to post stuff in your RSS feed from time to time. Yeah... sorry about neglecting this blog for a bit again. I took some time off to hone my skills and to start new projects. But without further ado...

I don't believe I've ever really covered a rebrand before but this one really jumped out at me. What I particularly love about this one is the use of negative space within the speech bubble, which in turn makes their mark very versatile. The new design comes to us thanks to Brooklyn-based Hyperaft. Head over to Brand New to read a more indepth post about the project. Enjoy.

This Will Destroy You

May 10th, the long awaited album Tunnel Blanket by This Will Destroy You will be released. Really looking forward to hearing this album. 

The War / Mercy Seat split EP

Preview For The Mercy Seat-The War Split EP from Sojourn Community Church on Vimeo.

At the end of last year I had the pleasure of redesigning the Sojourn Music site in preparation for their newest album release. Now for those who aren't familiar, Sojourn Community is an incredible church located in Louisville, Ky and they're not short on talented artists and musicians. Year after year they have put out some of my favorite worship albums and 2011 looks to be no different.

Brooks Ritter and Jamie Barnes, worship pastors at Sojourn, are two of the most talented artists on the Louisville music scene and tomorrow they are releasing their latest split EP The War / The Mercy Seat. I've heard a few of the songs off the album and I can honestly say that this is my most anticipated release this year. Watch the video above to see for yourself and be sure to pick up their album first thing in the morning!

Spoon: A Take Away Show

Spoon | The ghost of you lingers / Got Nuffin | A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

To know me is to know that I'm a huge Spoon fan. My wife even teases me by saying that I have a man-crush on Brit Daniels. I can't help it... that dude just encapsulates cool. Now, I've only been fortunate to catch them preform once but I can safely say their one that you don't want to miss. Thanks to La Blogotheque I can experience it again and again. If you're unfamiliar with La Blogotheque then let's catch you up to speed. Take one artist playing two of their songs in completely random location, all while being filmed by a few french men and you've got the gist. They've featured several of my favorite artists and I highly recommend checking it out.

Thanks to Michael Eades for making me aware of this on his excellent blog, yewknee.com.
