CREATED FOR THE LONDON-BASED EXPERIMENTAL JAZZ QUINTET HARD MODAL, THIS DOUBLE 12-INCH VINYL RELEASE CELEBRATES IMPERFECTION, IMMEDIACY, AND THE BEAUTY OF LIVE PERFORMANCE.

The design takes cues from 1960s Blue Note modernism, minimalist layouts, restrained typography, and an undercurrent of controlled chaos.

Matte black and acid yellow echo the band’s contrast between structure and improvisation.

Inside, linear sketches mirror modal phrasing, turning sound into visual rhythm. Each element, from inner sleeves to outer box, feels handmade, deliberate, and transient.

Hard Modal isn’t just packaging; it’s a physical interpretation of music you can’t quite replay, a quiet nod to the jazz tradition of making something fleeting feel eternal.
