You might not know Brian Roettinger by name, but if you bought No Age’s Nouns (TMT Review) on CD, flipping through that fat book of photos and art made you one step closer. Hell, the packaging even got him nominated for a Grammy, so you might already know who he is (or maybe you were just cool enough to know about him through Liars, or better yet, “before No Age”).
If Roettinger was tired of the No Age connection, he’s not squelching it very well — but then why should he? Let’s face it; we live in a world in which more people know about individual bands than individual graphic designers, however innovative they may be. Brian Roettinger is this month’s featured artist for Soundscreen Design’s Artist Music Journal Series, and his edition is packaged with an exclusive 10-inch of — you got it — No Age plus Brian Roettinger, which means that Soundscreen has a chance at selling this one out.
There are only 1,000 copies of each Soundscreen edition (Roettinger’s is number 10), so if you want to hear those tracks — not to mention own 24 high-quality pages of Brian Roettinger greatness — pre-order here.
