Hands across the creek
Hotel Lux
“Hotel Lux have crafted an identity that is truly their own on bold debut album, ‘Hands Across The Creek’.
Thiet sound of early, clattering pub-rock singles had received widespread acclaim.
Hotel Lux’s classic influences — Dr Feelgood, The Stranglers and Ian Dury — meshed with the sounds of artists like Neil Young, Brian Eno and The Waterboys, and, in the end, Hotel Lux found themselves “doing the whole ‘haha, that’s what the fourth album will sound like’ thing” on their first, says Cam.
For this release with The state51 Conspiracy, we designed a limited edition of 51 numbered and signed copies.
Each contained a blue smoke vinyl record, as well as a lyric book which we deisgned and hand bound, including insert handwritten by the band, and a flexi disc of unreleased track ‘Vice’.
Each bundle was wrapped in a hands-across-the-creek belly band, sealed with an enamel pin.
The 51st edition wass presented in a unique hand-made, foil stamped box and included a Limited edition ”National Team” Scarf designed to launch with the album
We also released the scarves as limited edition merch for the band and re-released a second version in black and white and blue, in 2024
Tillman Press also created the social media advertising campaign for the scarves.
