Anime Hill – Fevered Dreams cover art

by Olliver Wichmann

Those were rather difficult weeks… They were characterised by a marked lack of time, frustration about crumbling relationships, people once considered friends and some kind of burnt-out syndrome. Some opted to silently disappear from my horizon, hoping not to be confronted with inconvenient questions, or simply forgot about my existence. Others may simply found me no longer amusing and turned to others lining up on their virtual contacts queue. Be it as it may, in situations like this, you wind up with incomplete work piling up and inquiries about your progress, where you have to explain the situation. But you also recognise who your true friends are.

Anime Hill from Canada opted to release his album Fevered Dreams on Petcord and agreed to have the artwork done by Synflict. More importantly, in connection with the previous paragraph, he turned out to be a patient and pleasant person to work with, despite us not at all meeting the original schedule. I’m very thankful for this as it took the pressure away from us. The original cover draft came into being very rapidly. In fact, most of the work was completed in early may, with only minor things being adjusted later. Stylistically, it follows the Djozr cover by moving the relevant track listing and artist/album info to the inner sleeve of the front cover, leaving the back of the cd as pure decoration.
