Description
Placebo have teamed up with British artist Stuart Semple to develop a unique colour and a very special limited edition packaged double ASide 7 vinyl record. The 7 features their new cover of Tears for Fears anthemic Shout, as well as their version of Kate Bushs iconic Running Up That Hill, a rare opportunity to get this on vinyl again.In this unprecedented collaboration, the band have worked with a visual artist to author an entirely new colour, aptly named PLACEBO. PLACEBO paint is inspired by Semples lifelong love of Placebo. Changing colour in front of your eyes in different lights, PLACEBO morphs from a deep purple hue, through black, into a shimmering blue.Semple then created an original acrylic and charcoal on canvas painting titled SHOUT using this colour, which formed the cover artwork image for the record sleeve and bespoke record sleeve packaging. Powerful and visceral, an expression of the emotive anthem, the artwork also enacts a physical concept that enables you to interact with the packaging to extend the shout, literally.
