Múgsefjun CD

I got to design the packaging for Icelandic band Múgsefjun's second album, Múgsefjun. The songwriting is very critical of todays Icelandic society; the economy crisis and the media that never leaves us alone. One of the songs talks about the "Rúntur", which is an Icelandic phenomenon where people simply drive the same streets, circling, just to kill time and see other people. The cover is inspired by this - as well as the ideology of the songwriting, this idea that everything is layed out for you - there is no room for independent thinking and innovating. Our environment encourages us to keep driving in circles while keeping us entertained so that we don't notice our inactiveness. Created as a collage - then photographed.
