How much does visual art play a part in your creative process? (Q&A)

Joachim Speidel:

"How much does visual art play a part in your creative process?" [?] It's not the first thing I think like with, for example, the snake in the art - that idea came after I had already thought about "Poison" as a track. So it was like, "Oh, Poison, we had the butterfly, what's like a juxtaposition there?"

Stuart Brookes:

Yeah.

Joachim:

And I kind of came up with this snake, I drew it, showed it to Stuart, and then it kinda worked out. And then we sent that to our graphic designers, and that's kind of how the art came across. So it's all tied in, but definitely like the theme and the writing and the record comes first.

Stuart:

Yeah, I think we typically try to come up with a visual idea that represents the music afterwards. It's kind of a final touch we think of.
