New Musician as Designer T-Shirt - Nick Zinner

If you haven’t yet, make sure to check out the latest installment in our Musician as Designer series. The new t-shirt, printed on organic Alternative Apparel garments, features Nick Zinner as designer. Zinner, who lives in New York City, is a founding member of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Head Wound City, as well as an accomplished photographer. There are only 84 pieces in this (very) limited edition, so be sure to get one before they’re out.

Stay Tuned for these Upcoming Projects at SSD:

The 10th edition of our Artist Music Journals series is arriving shortly, featuring designer Brian Roettinger. Founder of the design studio/record label Hand Held Heart, Roettinger has received the highest praises for his album art and design for No Age and Liars. Speaking of No Age, Brian’s installment in the ongoing series is extra-special - the book comes with a one-sided 10″ record, featuring 3 exclusive tracks from No Age and Brian, who collaborated to present the musical accompaniment to Brian’s visual journal. Pre-orders will be available within the next 3 weeks.

We’re also really excited to start production this week on Touchable Sound: A Collection of 7-inch Records from the USA. The upcoming book features over 300 records from the past 25 years, essays from figures as talented and diverse as Justin Pearson (Three One G / Locust), Sam McPheeters (Vermiform / Born Against), Tom Hazelmyer (Amphetamine Reptile), Kristin Thompson (Simple Machines), and more, as well an introduction by Henry H. Owings (Chunklet Magazine). Each record was photographed, researched, and documented in this homage to labor intensive, artistically driven, exceptionally packaged 7’s, which continue to influence and define modern record packaging design.

Last but not least, stay on the look out for our 2010 Collection. It will feature five talented designers and ten amazing bands. The first release will feature Animal Collective and Atlas Sound, as designed by the talented Rob Carmichael/Seen Studio, as well as Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Pantha du Prince, as designed by the incredible Hisham Bharoocha. More info and pre-orders coming soon. In the meantime, stock up on the remaining designs from the 2009 Collection, all at 40% off.

To celebrate the release of both Bjorn’s Musician as Designer t-shirt and Artist Music Journal, we are offering a package deal of the two at a discounted price, 20% off. Available for a limited time and while quantities last exclusively in our shop.

We found a box of Vinyl is Forever Edition 01 (designed by Human Empire) V Neck T’s, in XL. There were 6 shirts in the box. We put them back on sale just for you. We also have 2 XS V’s left, in case you are not of the XL variety.

Our office is getting a bit crowded, meaning it’s time to do a little winter cleaning and make room for all the new projects hitting the shelves this Spring. So, we figured a deep discount on our 2009 apparel Collection was a good place to start. The Collection features premium, organic, custom tailored apparel for Battles, Deerhoof, Gang Gang Dance, Fucked Up, Handsome Furs, Liars, The National, No Age, and Pelican.

All markdowns are reflected in the pricing.  Happy shopping.
