- Pels / Ugo
Artwork for indie rock band´s first album. - Los Pels was my 2008-09 favourite band. I knew them through Mauma, their drummer (and friend to my brother). I listened to all of their demos and was thrilled by the awesome songcrafting that these guys had. Perfect melodies, nice lyrics, a trademark sound... i loved them from the very first time i listened to one of their songs. I never asked them if i could do something for them because i was to extatic listening to their music... but once, in a small interview for Global Art i was ask for whom in the music industry i would like to design, and my answer was Pels. This guys read the interview, mailed me and that was it: Max-o-matic + Pels.
