True fans are your ride-or-dies, the ones screaming your lyrics at shows, rocking your merch, and hitting repeat on your latest track.

They’re the key to a killer music career, keeping you afloat financially and letting you focus on what truly matters: making music!

So ditch the follower vanity and cultivate a crew of real fans who fuel your passion (and your bank account).

Why Chasing FANS Beats Building a FOLLOWER Army

Here’s the difference between what a follower and a fan is:

FOLLOWERS

A social media follower is like someone in the cheap seats at a concert.

They’ve shown up, but they’re not exactly front row, singing along and waving their lighters (or phone flashlights these days). They might not even be there for the whole performance.

Yes, they’ve subscribed to your social media accounts and might have occasionally seen some of your posts on their feed. However, following you doesn’t necessarily translate to them actively engaging with your posts.

Their reasons for following are fickle: a catchy tune, a viral moment, or maybe they just accidentally hit that button. Engagement is like catching lightning in a bottle – it depends whether the content hits that sweet spot of attention-grabbing for them.

They might like a post here and there, maybe even share one if it strikes their fancy. Overall, their support is unpredictable.

FANS

A true fan is more than just a lurker on your social media page. They’re the ones actively jamming to your content, showering it with likes and comments, and sharing it with their friends.

They’re deeply invested in your music, connecting with your message and rocking out to your sound. True fans become your real-life supporters, filling venues, repping your merch, and keeping your music on repeat.

They’re the foundation of your career, the loyal crew that provides stability and lets you focus on what truly matters – creating the music you love.

The Pitfalls of Equating Followers with Fans

In the age of social media, many musicians fall into the trap of mistaking follower count for a dedicated fanbase.

While a massive following might look impressive, it doesn’t necessarily translate to packed shows or a thriving career.

Imagine a concert venue with thousands of empty seats filled with “like” buttons. That’s essentially what a follower base without true fans represents.

As I’ve said, followers might passively see your content, but they’re not actively engaged. And if you continue to equate the two then you’ll definitely be experiencing problems on your way to success.

#1. CRICKETS IN THE COMMENT SECTION

Focusing on your follower count can lead you down a dangerous path of creating generic content that appeals to everyone and no one.

While you might analyze your followers’ diverse interests, trying to cater to all of them dilutes your message.

The result? Bland content that doesn’t resonate with your true fans, leading to a disconnect and a deafening silence in your comment sections.

#2. THE SOLD-OUT SHOW MIRAGE

Big follower numbers are exciting, but they can’t be the only metric for success.

Imagine dreaming of sold-out shows based on followers alone, only to face disappointing ticket sales and merch numbers.

Take for example rapper Lil Baby who surprised fans when he canceled 10 dates last year for his 32-city tour.

Reports suggested low ticket sales might be the culprit. Apparently, venues like Memphis and Seattle, with months until showtime, were reportedly less than half sold.

This begs the question: how can an artist with such a seemingly dedicated online following struggle to fill arenas?

Lil Baby is undeniably influential, but a closer look reveals a potential disconnect between online popularity and real-world support. That’s why grounding your expectations in various sources is key.

Look at your past performance and current engagement to get a clearer picture. This way, you’ll avoid discouragement and stay motivated by focusing on what truly matters: connecting with your fans and building a sustainable career.

#3. MARKETING IN THE DARK

Imagine throwing money at generic ads that miss your biggest supporters. Without understanding your true fanbase, that’s exactly what happens.

Your message might reach some, but it won’t connect with the people who truly matter: the ones who buy your music and fill your shows.

This disconnect wastes resources and leaves you frustrated.

________________________________________________________________________

Can Follower Count Predict Venue Capacity?

While a massive follower count doesn’t guarantee sold-out shows, it still signifies a growing fanbase.

Chris Riva, analyzing data from Vivid Seats and Instagram, found a positive, non-linear relationship between the two. This means both follower count and venue capacity tend to increase together, but not necessarily at the same rate.

Not all followers are created equal. Growing from 1 million to 2 million followers might not translate to a bigger venue, whereas jumping from 10 million to 11 million might. This is because the earlier stages of growth often attract more dedicated fans who translate to ticket sales.

Riva’s analysis highlights this point. Noah Cyrus, with over 6 million followers, played at 9:30 Club, a venue in Washington D.C. with a 1,200 capacity.

It was a seemingly small choice.

Meanwhile, Dayglow, with just 200,000 followers, played the same venue. This just shows that Dayglow had much more true fans in their follower count than Cyrus.

This situation demonstrates that while follower count can indicate popularity it doesn’t guarantee equal active fan support like buying tickets.

________________________________________________________________________

Ditch the Followers, Cultivate the Fanbase

In essence, follower count remains a relevant metric, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. You gotta make sure you look at every corner first – the engagements, merch sales, ticket sales, and attendance to any public and free shows you have.

Understanding the true engagement and dedication of your fanbase is crucial for musicians to connect with their audience and build a sustainable career.

Focus on building a loyal fanbase by creating meaningful content and engaging with the people who truly matter.

He first worked at Warner Reprise Records then later joined Interscope/ Geffen Records where he managed producers and songwriters and got his first platinum record for Keyshia Cole’s The Way It Is. He is now helping indie artists with branding and manufacturing through his company Unified Manufacturing, a CD/DVD, custom vinyl records and merch company in LA.

In this article, we’ll be listing down the things that you have to know about band merch printing.

#1. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CREATING YOUR DESIGN

The first thing you will surely think about when you plan your merch is the design that you’ll be printing on it.

In the process of conceptualizing and creating the design, a lot of things must be considered:

• COLOR OF YOUR MERCH

The color of your merch would be your design’s base color. You have to decide on the color of your base to know what to color your design with.

I’m sure you know how color can create disharmony if they’re not paired well making the merch look bad and cheap.

• PLACEMENT OF YOUR DESIGN

There are a lot of places you can have your designs printed on.

For tops like shirts you can have it at the front or back, you can also put it on the hood for hoodies. This helps you determine the size and orientation of your design.

For the sleeves you can go for a snaking or longitudinal design.

• PRINTING TECHNIQUE

There are a lot of different printing techniques but the usual ones are screen printing and DTG printing.

The fate of your designs’ colors would be determined on the technique you’ll be choosing.

#2. COLORFUL & DETAILED DESIGNS SHOULD BE DTG-PRINTED

So if you’re planning on having a colorful design for your merch, then you will have to choose DTG printing.

The technique is a must, especially if your designs are photorealistic.

It can still be possible to have a colorful design with screen printing but it’ll be pricier. With photorealistic designs, however, it’ll be impossible already.

It would be best to have DTG printing for your colorful and photorealistic designs. That will be the cost-effective decision to make.

#3. MAKE THINGS SIMPLE BUT NOT SIMPLER

Merch designs can go to the extremes just to make it unique or more visually appealing.

However, doing so much to a design will leave it looking chaotic and not in a good way at all.

When I say simple, though, it doesn’t mean in its literal sense.

What I mean is to just not go overboard about it. It can still be filled with a lot of elements but take a look at it and make sure that everything still looks cohesive. It can still be colorful or sparkling, but make sure that it does not stand out in an odd way.

If your image is extravagant, your design sure needs extravagance. You don’t have to tone anything down, just make sure that you’re not doing way too much.

_________________________________________________________________

#4. UNIQUENESS WILL SURELY GET YOU FAR

Fans love everything that’s unique and original.

If you continue to be your unique self, then fans will stay loyal and support you.

When you decide on the merch and design, incorporate the things that make you stand out from others.

Let’s say you have a color representing you or have a signature style, then try having that included in your merch somehow.

Another way to stay unique is to offer unique merch items.

You can offer custom band merch that’s not usually present in other artists’ merch tables like laptop cases, throw pillows, and jewelry.

Unique Band Merch Ideas That Can Make Fans Go Wild

_________________________________________________________________

#5. IT’S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO OFFER MORE THAN ONE MERCH TYPE

When thinking of a merch to have for your merch table, we suggest that you offer at least three different types, excluding the CD, cassette tape, or vinyl record that you might have.

You’ve got to have a wearable merch and small merch items like stickers or pins.

You might be wondering why.

Well, you will surely have fans that won’t be able to afford everything on the table, it’ll be a great thing if you have something that fans, especially minors, will be able to afford.

Additionally, people love to have options.

Fans will likely buy something if there are choices they can choose from instead of just opting for it because it’s the only one there is.

_________________________________________________________________

#6. THERE ARE MUST-HAVE MERCH ITEMS

If you’ve got a lot of merch offered don’t forget to have at least one of the essential band merch items included on your merch table.

Merch items like shirts, pins, stickers, and tote bags are what I’m talking about.

You will never go wrong with these ones because people will surely buy it along with the other merch you offer.

It’s especially true for shirts if you don’t have hoodies offered. It’s not the staple custom band merch for nothing.

#7. SREEN PRINTING IS COST-EFFECTIVE FOR BULK ORDERS

If you’re worried about the costs for ordering a lot of units per merch item, then you don’t need to worry.

Most printing companies would have screen printing as an available printing option and they’re very cost-effective if you have bulk orders.

You still have to meet some design requirements though, because there are limits to it.

If your designs are not photorealistic and have five colors at most, then you’ll be good to go. You can bulk order your merch with your designs screen printed on them.

#8. LIMITED EDITIONS HELP DRIVE MERCH SALES

It’s human nature to want something that only a selected few will be able to have and that’s the reason why limited editions really sell well.

If you’re offering a unique merch item, making it a limited edition will be the best move to do.

You can offer a hoodie or shirt with a new design and offer it in limited stocks.

You can also have the merch item numbered and I’m pretty sure your fans would be very competitive aiming to be the one with the #1 on theirs.

#9. EMBROIDERED DESIGNS LOOK MORE HIGH-END AND LUXURIOUS

We suggest you have your limited edition items embroidered.

It can’t be denied that when designs are embroidered, they look much more luxurious and expensive. 

I bet fans would be digging it.

They won’t just be looking like they’re wearing a luxurious item, but they also got to flex their fave musician.

_________________________________________________________________

#10. QUALITY IS EVERYTHING TO A PERSON

No matter how awesome the idea of having a unique merch is, fans would always prefer quality over anything. No matter how pretty it looks, if the item’s not durable then fans won’t want to buy it.

You also have to remember that the quality of the things you put out for fans, may that be music, physical album, or other merch, reflects on your image.

Even if you’re the most talented musician, there will still be a taint on your image if you’ve got a merch full of flaws.

_________________________________________________________________

#11. MERCH PACKAGING IS ANOTHER WAY TO ATTRACT PEOPLE’S ATTENTION

The packaging and presentation of your merch is a way to promote the item it has enclosed within it.

If the packaging’s shabby, then don’t expect people to look at your merchandise a second time.

Your merch packaging should have an element that attracts people, like the design, its reusability, or maybe its uniqueness.

You also have to make your bundle packaging organized, don’t just throw in the merch items in a box and tie it with a ribbon.

_________________________________________________________________

#12. FANS LOVE TO BE HEARD

After selling your merch items, you have to make sure to get feedback from your fans. They will either have complaints or praises for your merch.

You have to separate them and improve from the complaints and at least maintain the things which were praised.

Fans love being heard so the next time you release a merch, you have to make sure that the complaints they had are resolved. If they have suggestions or requests, you have to weigh them and make it happen if it’s within your reach.

I promise your fans will love you more.

Sooo. That’s all folks!

We hope this list has somehow helped you first-timers prepare or go through the process of band merch printing.

Send us your designs and let’s make awesome merch!

He first worked at Warner Reprise Records then later joined Interscope/ Geffen Records where he managed producers and songwriters and got his first platinum record for Keyshia Cole’s The Way It Is. He is now helping indie artists with branding and manufacturing through his company Unified Manufacturing, a CD/DVD, custom vinyl records and merch company in LA.

It’s not just about generating profit. It’s also a powerful way to connect with fans!

Merch sales is just second to live show sales and that says something with how much revenue musicians get from it. It’s actually one of the reasons why merch releases became so widespread in the industry during the pandemic.

Due to health protocols, musicians couldn’t do live shows impairing their biggest revenue source.

What did they do?

They obviously turned to the second biggest—and that’s merchandise. Some even went back to releasing physical albums, e.g., CDs, cassette tapes, vinyl records.

Merchandising is not as simple as pasting your logo. 

So read on and learn more about merchandise, merchandising, strategies, and  more.

MERCH STRATEGY TIP #1: CONCEPTUALIZE YOUR BRAND AND CREATE MERCH DESIGNS 

The very first thing you have to do is create a brand or image of yourself or your group. The brand brings everything about you and your music together.

When you decide on it, make sure it tells a story, more specifically your story. This way you and your fans can both connect to it. It might even attract people to you and your music if you present and promote it the right way.

In addition to that, deciding on a logo and/or design would be easy peasy with a brand. If you already have a logo, then you might want to incorporate it into your merch designs.

The logo will be your brand’s image, reminding people of you or your music when they see it on anything.

MERCH STRATEGY TIP #2: DECIDE ON THE TYPE OF MERCH TO SELL 

After conceptualizing your brand, you may proceed to deciding on the merch items you will be offering to fans.

There are a lot of merch out there and it can be a headache thinking about what would be the best things to have.

To make it easier for you, why not try looking through other artists’ merch offers. It would help you minimize your list.

You can’t choose just any artist though.

You have to choose fellow musicians with the same type of music or the same fan demographics. This way, you know what people that love that kind of music love buying from their faves.

You can also directly ask your fans what they want to buy from you. Try posting a poll and see the results or maybe post a question and read through the replies. You can then decide from there.

Here are some merch types that you might want to offer to your fans:

#1. CUSTOM MERCH 

Custom merch in this context is much more than just customizing their printed design and what not.

This one’s more of the handmade ones making them much pricier than the others you’ll be offering. Meaning, their high prices are justified.

Let’s say you know how to crochet, then you can offer a limited number of crocheted keychains, jewelry, hats, or scarves.

You can also have painted physical albums like what Billie Eilish did for her vinyl record live album released by Third Man Record.

They will be a great addition to your merch table since they will be balancing out your custom merch.

Fans without much money to spend will be able to show their support to you through them.

#3. DIGITAL MERCH

You read that right.

Even merchandise has been digitized. It’s really not that surprising anymore with how the world has been. There are fans who also prefer them, since they’re easier to buy, keep, and access.

Wondering what are some examples of digital merch? Well, you can offer PDF versions of your songs’ chord sheets or lyric book. Even behind-the-scenes videos can be offered as digital merch.

What’s great about this is there is almost no money spent in creating them while you get profit selling them.

#4. PRINT-ON-DEMAND MERCH

This is a scalable merch, but what makes this different is that these merch are produced after an order for that merch is confirmed.

This is a very advantageous one for musicians who’re on a tight budget and could not afford to have their merch manufactured in bulk.

MERCH STRATEGY TIP #4:TRY INCORPORATING A MERCHANDISING STRATEGY

Now, we’re going to talk about some of the types of merchandising strategy that you can incorporate into yours.

It’s not a completely foreign idea to people now, for sure, given that we’re surrounded with businesses and merchandise.

You might even be unknowingly using one or some of the merchandising strategies we have listed below.

#1. TRAFFIC BUILDING

This type of merchandising strategy is one that’s aimed at physical stores since this is designed to get more people to visit a merchandise store.

An traffic building merchandise strategy example would be to display attractive merchandise in places of the store where it’s easily visible and accessible.

For your online store, you can build store traffic through paying advertisement campaigns or hiring influencers.

If you want to keep your money in your pocket then you can try engaging on social media, through your posts. When you post your merch on your feed, story, or reels/shorts, make sure to link your store.

#2. TRANSACTION BUILDING/ CASH GENERATING 

The transaction building or cash generating merchandising strategy is one that plays with human’s impulsive buying.

There are things that need other things so that it will be protected and/or useful, as well as provide a better user experience.

This strategy takes advantage of these complementary merch which drives people’s impulsive buying. It’s like how most people, when buying a cellphone, will be urged to buy a screen protector and phone case together with it.

This strategy is also used in the music industry with how musicians offer vinyl records as well as slip mats to complement it.

#3. EXCITMENT GENERATING

This is another type of merchandising strategy that takes advantage of people’s impulsiveness.

It’s a strategy that offers fashionable and seasonal items which generates buzz and excitement around them.

Because of that feeling of “exclusivity” customers get, they’ll have this feeling of urgently buying those merch. A great example of this would be the Christmas decors that musicians offer to their fans during the holiday seasons.

That’s all for now…

But in the middle of all that emotion and crazy beats, SOS gives you these beautiful moments where SZA’s voice and lyrics just shine—it’s like an oasis in the chaos.

And that’s a wrap of our long ass list of the 50 best albums of 2023 and their vinyl record albums.

Which ones do you already own? And which ones captured your attention?

It will never ever go out of style.

It’s (still) a great way to introduce yourself and your music to the music industry. If you’ve got one already, well…have it updated. If you don’t, then it’s best to create one now.

In this article, we’ll show you the importance of press kits and how you can make one that would successfully attract the people that really matter.

So, let’s get on with it!

WHY THE NEED FOR PRESS KITS?

Press kits, which is also known as media kits, is a strategic promotional tool that musicians like you can use to make a good impression with the people of the media and the music industry.

You’ll be needing that good impression when it really matters. 

You need it to:

• Introduce yourself to record labels and A&Rs
• Introduce your to journalists, bloggers, radio broadcasters, and other press.
• Introduce yourself to partners and sponsors
• Basically…anybody who can help you in your career!

Press kits help you present yourself in a concise manner. It helps the people of the media and people who might want to work with you to know you better without needing to go through a lot of materials.

In addition to that, it’s a great source of photos and other marketing materials that the media can use if they write a story about you.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN A PRESS KIT?

In creating a press kit, knowing and deciding on what to include in it is the first hurdle. There are just a lot of things that you can have in it.

What you have to remember is that it needs to not be too long or overstuffed. Less is more.

It has to be short and sweet, with just the right amount of information that would leave people wanting to know more about you and your music.

Here is a list of things we think you have to include in your press kit.

#1. BIO

This is a must in any press kit. Again, it doesn’t have to be a novella.

A one-page bio would do!

In fact, it needs to be concise and conveys the atmosphere and intentions of the music release. Make sure it doesn’t dwell in your personal life too much.

You can write it on your own or, if you’re not feeling it or if you’re not good at it, have a copywriter for you. Just remember to give them sufficient information to reflect how you want to be seen (in other words, your branding).

#2. PHOTOS

This is pertaining to professional photos you have of yourself.

You will surely have a photo shoot for your release, so that’s what you will be using for the press kit. Make sure they make you look great and are high quality.

#3. MUSIC AND VIDEOS

Next are the tracks and videos.

This is a must-include because this will showcase your talent and product which, in this case, is your music.

#4. PRESS COVERAGE

Press coverage is another thing to add in your press kit since it shows that you have an audience.

You have to add those that show you in the best light and have them added as a screenshot, photocopy, or scan.

#5. CONCERTS

List your concerts, the upcoming ones and those in the past.

It would be best to limit it to professional live shows. This will help the media people get more information about you through articles written for your past concerts.

And it would allow them to inform the audience of your future plans.

#6. ACHIEVEMENTS

This is not your bragging section, but it is a way to prove that you have made contributions to the music industry.

That what you’ve been doing is enough to have the media cover you and the people talking about you.

#7. CONTACT INFORMATION

Of course, contact information must never be omitted from press kits.

It’s a way to contact you, and you wouldn’t want them to be looking for it on the internet.

Make it easier for them through including links of your social media accounts, your email address, and your telephone or cell phone number.

#8. THE PEOPLE

Don’t forget to write about the people you worked with, the ones who are part of the project in any way possible.

It’s a way of showing your gratitude and giving them the credit that they deserve.

TIPS TO HAVE A GOOD PRESS KIT?

#1. INCLUDE QR CODES 

If you are going for the physical press kit, then the best thing to let people listen to your music without needing a player would be to have a QR code.

Most physical press kits always had CDs included in it, this can be a bit of a nuisance to the people you send them to; especially if they don’t have a CD player near them at that moment.

You can take advantage of the fact that almost every person on earth has their own cell phone with them anywhere they may be.

This QR code should lead them to a streaming site like YouTube, SoundCloud, or Spotify where they can listen to your music or watch your video.

Check out our custom CD duplication service

#2. UTILIZE THE HYPERLINK FUNCTION

For EPKs, you get to have something like a QR code with the hyperlink function.

This function allows you to hyperlink a text which, when clicked, relocates you to another link.

You can use this to hyperlink your social media accounts, your website, and your music and videos. It will be easier to visit your accounts, listen to your music and watch your videos.

#3. USE DROPBOX OR YOUTUBE LINKS

If your video files are too heavy, you can use Dropbox or YouTube. This way, you will be able to preserve the quality of your videos.

You can use their links when you are hyperlinking.

#4. MAKE A READABLE LAYOUT 

Another aspect that would drive away people is when your layout is chaotic as hell.

If they don’t look readable at all, people wouldn’t want to bother themselves reading it.

#5. EYE-CATCHING TITLE

Press kits also need titles so make sure to have one that’s eye-catching.

And I am, definitely, not just talking about the words used, but on how they are presented visually through font style, size, color, and typography.

Don’t forget to update your press kit!

We’ve reached the end of the article, I hope you learned something from this.

Before I end this, I am reminding you to not forget about updating your press kit.

Everytime you release an album, you have to make sure you have it updated and redesigned to suit your current album.

That’s it. Bye for now.

The Best Recording Package and Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package are our favorite categories.

These categories are all about celebrating the craftiness, the innovation, and the sheer wow-factor of album cover designs and packaging.

And, if you know us, that’s what we’re all about!

Now let us all admire the nominees for each category…

BEST RECORDING PACKAGE

#1. The Art of Forgetting

Artist/s: Caroline Rose

Art Director: Caroline Rose

Caroline Rose’s third studio album, The Art of Forgetting, is up for grabs on three different 2 12” vinyl album versions — Neon Green, Clear Audiophile Collector’s Edition, and Exclusive Unique Eco Mix.

Let me tell you, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions, a raw and honest collection that Caroline crafted during one heck of a tough period in her life.

And you can see it right there on the album cover: Rose chilling on a sofa, barely dressed, blindfolded, holding a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other, all while the room’s going up in flames.

Check out our 12-inch vinyl record pressing

#2. Cadenza 21’

Artist/s: Hsuan Chang Kitano

Art Director: Hsing-Hui Cheng

Cadenza 21’ is an album by Hsuan Chang Kitano, a Taiwanese producer, harpsichordist, and pianist. This is all about diving into identity, expression, and creativity through musical performances that blend different cultures together.

And the whole deal of the CD album packaging is to make reading way more fun and interesting through design. That’s why Kitano chose Star Cheng for the job. She’s a paper artist, graphic designer, and top-notch illustrator that could make it happen!

And get this—her stuff? It’s so good that it got a Grammy Awards nomination and made the shortlist for some big shots like the World of Illustration and London Design Festival

#3. Eletrophonic Chronic

Artist/s: The Arcs

Art Director: Perry Shall

After their 2015 debut album Yours, Dreamily, The Arcs followed it up with Electrophonic Chronic. The album’s a mixture of neo-psychedelic roots, soulful fire, some dusty grooves, and rock that’ll blow your socks off.

And let me tell you, Perry Shall, the art director, absolutely nailed the vibe of this album. From jazzing up its 12-inch vinyl record to spicing up the front cover of the vinyl jacket.

He went all out with neon colors and even added this cool zoetrope design to one side of the vinyl record. It’s a total psychedelic trip for both your eyes and your ears!

Check out our custom vinyl printed single jackets

#4. Gravity Falls (OST)

Artist/s: Brad Breeck

Art Director: iam8bit

Many years in the making, the very special OST release of the all-time favorite mystery-comedy animated series, Gravity Falls, was released last year.

And it definitely did not disappoint its fans. Cuz’ the album’s visuals? Oh they’re so lit!

They’ve got all the weirdness drawn and colored-in on this gatefold jacket. And if you think you’ve seen enough with the front cover, there’s more to come when you open it up and see its inner artwork. The vinyl sleeves are no joke too!

#5. Migration

Artist/s: Leaf Yeh

Art Director: Yu Wei

Now we’re switching gears from that color explosion to something super sleek and modern: Migration.

It might not catch your eye at first glance, but guess what? It’s hiding some serious tricks up its sleeve. Take a peek at the cover—two circles with these long cuts in them. Twist those circles and boom! Words start popping out.

But wait, there’s more to this party. Crack it open and start flipping through the pages and you’ll spot two mind-bending optical illusions. They feature feline creatures—one’s sprinting, while the other’s sneaking out of its secret spot. And that’s where the album title makes perfect sense!

#6. Stumpwork

Artist/s: Dry Cleaning

Art Director: Luke Brooks & James Theseus Buck

The final contender for this category is Stumpwork by Dry Cleaning.

This album was inspired by a bunch of events, concepts, and political mess-ups. And let me tell ya, the packaging is top-notch.

The clever minds behind this album went all out. They wrote the album’s title in what looks like hair on a used bar of soap. I mean, seriously, who comes up with that kind of genius idea? It’s next-level creativity, for sure!

BEST BOXED OR SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION PACKAGE

#7. The Collected Works of Neutral Milk Hotel

The Grammy nominated album packaging is a reissue that was initially exclusive to the band’s online store. All its components are neatly arranged within a 12″ two-piece telescoping case-wrapped box.

The interior fitments have been revamped to enhance durability, and the vinyl records are all in black. Additionally, the jackets are printed on upgraded cardboard stock to achieve a more vivid and consistent color.

#8. For The Birds: The Birdsong Project Vol. I

Artist/s: Various Artists

Art Director: Jeri Heiden & John Heiden

What’s Inside:

• Booklet
• Index
• 20 12-inch Vinyl records in Printed Inner Sleeves

For the Birds: The Birdsong Project presents a compilation of 172 original musical compositions inspired by the captivating melodies of birdsong.

These pieces are performed by artists spanning from various genres. The deluxe box set comprises 20 LPs, each adorned with unique cover art.

Additionally, the collection includes 73 bird-themed poems, spoken words, as well as short stories. These literary pieces are narrated by renowned voices such as Robert Pattinson and Greta Gerwig.

The proceeds generated from the sale of this exclusive compilation, as well as supporting events, will be devoted to the preservation of birds and their essential habitats—ensuring their well-being today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

#9. Gieo

Artist/s: Ngot

Art Director: Duy Dao

What’s Inside:

• 4 Posters
• Lyric Cards
• Photobook
• Notepads
• Stickers
• Seeds
• Foam for Sowing Seeds
• Gieo CD

Gieo is Ngọt’s fourth studio album which is a Vietnamese word that translates to “planting the seed or an idea.” The album title’s origin explains the inclusion of seeds and foam for sowing in the album.

And to make it more eco-friendly, the album also had hand-crafted recycled cardboard packaging.

Guided by Duy Đào’s artistic direction, the promotional materials for the album showcase a distinctive palette of psychedelic colors, featuring striking contrasts in shades of orange, electric blue, magenta, and yellow. This explosion of vibrant colors is concealed within the unassuming exterior of a dull brown-colored cardboard package.

#10. Inside: Deluxe Box Set 

Artist/s: Bo Burnham

Art Director: Bo Burnham & Daniel Calderwood

What’s Inside:

• 3 Single Vinyl Jacket
• 3 Inside Window Clings
• 12” x 12” Signed Art Card
• 24-page Lyric Book
• 3 RGB Colored Translucent Outer Sleeves
• 3 RGB Colored 12-inch Vinyl Records in Printed Inner Sleeves

Inside is a 2021 musical special by American comedian Bo Burnham. Last year, an eponymous deluxe box set on vinyl was released. This exclusive collection includes 13 outtake tracks and another 13 score tracks.

The box set features a diverse range of songs and sketches that offer a glimpse into Burnham’s everyday life indoors.

It candidly portrays the comedian’s declining mental well-being and delves into themes of performativity, examining his relationship with the internet and the audience it has connected him with.

Furthermore, the content addresses significant topics such as climate change and social movements.

#11. Words & Music, May 1965 Deluxe Edition

Artist/s: Lou Reed

Art Director: Masaki Koike

What’s Inside:

• Saddle-stitched, Die-cut, 28-page Book
• CD in Die-cut Jacket
• 7-inch Vinyl Record in Die-cut Jacket
• 2 12-inch black vinyl records in Die-cut Gatefold Jacket

And we’re down to the last nominee of the category.

Words & Music, May 1965 was released in tandem with the late artist’s 80th birthday celebration.

Masaki Koike’s choice of cutting little holes on the jackets and book cover gives that subtle message of letting listeners see through Lou Reed.

This ingenious concept aligns seamlessly with the album’s offer of an extraordinary and unfiltered insight into him.

After seeing these nominees, imagine yourself as one of the voting members.

Which albums would you have casted your votes on?
