Black City

Album packaging design for “Black City” by Swedish indie rock veterans Division Of Laura Lee. The album was originally released in February 2002, this is a reissue to mark the 20th anniversary.

The album’s packaging is a gatefold sleeve, a printed inner sleeve, and an OBI strip wrapped around the packaging. The gatefold sleeve itself consists only of two photographs, the inner sleeve has the lyrics and credits, and the OBI strip contains the band name, tracklist, labelcopy etc.

There are three different versions of this album, all with different OBI trips and matching vinyl colours – the Asphalt Black edition, the Nosebleed Red edition, and the Polluted Gold edition.

Original packaging design by Shelby Cinca. Photography by David S. Holloway.
