“Friends and Friends of Friends” Artwork and Track-listing Finalized!
posted ~ March 16th, 2009. Filed under: Art News, Uncategorized.This past weekend I finished the artwork for the new Tender Loving Empire compilation, Friends and Friends of Friends Vol. 2. The albums will be hand screen-printed on original packaging designed by yours truly in a limited edition of 1000.
The compilation consists of 2 discs: Neighbors (Portland-based acts) and Pen-Pals (national and international acts). Over the last few months I have been wrangling up songs from some of the finest musicians in Portland and across the country. The final track listing has been sent out to master as of last week. The tracks will be in L.A. until early April when they will be returned to TLE for us to press and print. It will be released May 16th.
