Barrow - Being Without (2011)
Barrow is Travis Schuster, Zach Tobin, Tyler Ingram, and Matt Clark
Album recorded by Pearl Street Studio
Committed to vinyl and packaged by Gotta Groove Records
Photography for record was provided by Nora Barabas
Record layout was designed by me, Kevin McCarty
The record can be streamed or ordered from here.

The first three images are the templates I sent back to Gotta Groove Records. Perhaps not the most professional things to include, but they allude to the process involved and my part to play. They are also clearer than any photo I could take of the packaging. I did everything that is not the photography itself. Nora is an incredibly talented photographer from Hungary, and it was an honor to collaborate with her in a sense.

The next image is of the final product, originally posted by Barrow themselves. It shows each piece of the art as well as both options for vinyl color.

I’d like to stress that I’m very interested in being involved in processes like this again.

The next photo is of Zach Tobin (Guitar/Vocals) and Matt Clark (Drums), from Barrow. I snapped this photo in Summer 2011 along with many others, but I suffered a hard drive failure and just got my act together with photos taken from around that time.

Consider this post Part 1 of my work with Barrow. Part 2 will include the website I made for them and another photo or two.
