Getting some inspiration from the 90s

So… CTG, LA & PD are working on a dance track. We figure, since we got this video vibe going, we might as well make music to do our dances to, or Sony is going to ‘be up in our faces’ forever, which is no good. So we’re working with a (real!) producer and writing some super deep lyrics about going out and dancing and having fun, which is a cause we firmly and strongly believe in, so we’ve been doing a bunch of referencing tracks that inspire us, which led us to Ace of Base – The Sign – which led us to a whole BUNCH of 90s album artwork covers. Which are truly hilarious. Guys, what was going down in the 90s that led us to style our pop culture icons like angry Swedish teenagers? Like, all of them???

Got to love the collage work, the faces blooming forth from the rose

A rose, but there is some anger. You can see it lurking in her elfen bangs.

rainbow gradients - too good! peroxide! yes!

The name of the album says it all - deadly! in that lovely SandScript too. Super hardcore.

There are a lot of fists happening in that image above. Should we fist on our album cover??? These are all things we must consider.

Oh yeah. Let's rave out. Let's rave out to some synths. In my crop top.

You would be forgiven for thinking that TLC is the name of a weekend burger special at Wimpy. I've forgiven myself. Forgive yourself.

Uh. We're in trouble. Dyed our hair with peroxide then tried to get it brown again and it turned out pink so we wrote a song. Gonna sulk it off.

Very inspiring. We feel very inspired. PD & LA are coming over this evening, and we’re going to print out all these images and stick them up on our studio wall while we ‘lay down some vocals’. It’s gonna be great. We can’t wait. Can you wait??
