Povětroň, a Czech indie rock band with a raw, melodic sound, has been carving out their place in the music scene since 2006. Their music blends the gritty energy of Sebadoh, The Replacements, Pavement, and Dinosaur Jr. with introspective lyrics and infectious melodies. I’ve known the band’s lead singer and songwriter, Jakub Mihalik, for nearly all of that time, watching as their sound evolved and matured over the years.
Recently, Povětroň returned to the studio to record their third album, Heart & Noise, an album that captures their signature mix of heartfelt songwriting and driving, lo-fi energy. I had the pleasure of designing the album cover, along with artwork for their social media presence. Creating visuals that reflect the mood and feel of their music was an exciting challenge.
