Grasping Things at the Root Official Back Cover
Unveiling Bulletproof Soul's Official Grasping Things at the Root Back Cover
You’ve seen the front cover. Now BPS can display the back cover for future physical copies, to be released at yet to-be-determined dates. The back cover features the same font as the front, but departs from any faces or people, going with minimalist art instead as an art and music collective. Designed by Austin Moore-Farrow, the bottom strokes represent color combos often used by BPS art and music collective as a wave crashing onto the cover. The wave could also represent society in some interpretations, given the concept of the album.
Meanwhile, in the top corner, we find the root that was absent on the front cover. Connected to the rose, is a trippy root and ensemble of leaves reading “BPS”, the acronym for Bulletproof Soul. The absence of the root on the front cover was to convey a lack of society grasping things at the root, while the audience can draw assumptions as to the connection of BPS to the root on the back cover. There are additional parallels to the back covers of A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders and the Grasping Things at the Root as well as the front covers.
There is much more in store this month. Grasping Things at the Root drops July 28. Be sure to stream the single to the album, “The Whip”, in the meantime. For more in the lead-up to the album, continue following coverage right here on the official Bulletproof Soul newsletter.
