Happy Holidays! MTX has authorized the production of a really cool limited t-shirt by Chris Appelgren--intended as an original concept for Love is Dead. We are accepting pre-orders Ltd. to 60. This design will only be available through Friday, December 2nd, 2016. This pre-order includes a 4-color design on a super comfortable blue brushed cotton shirt, a 1" pin, a 4"x4" sticker, and an early download of MTX Shards Vol. 2 in January (one month before its scheduled release).
"This is burrowing quite far beneath the crust of obscurity, but in the course of trying to locate and salvage the original elements and files of the Love Is Dead album artwork Chris Appelgren came across this design. Believe it or not, it or some variation of it was slated to be the Love Is Dead cover originally. Chris drew it on his notepad while we were discussing ideas and I liked the idea of the melting snowman/love object so he went ahead and worked one up. Obviously we didn’t end up using it, though it may well have influenced the contemporaneous not (yet) released song “She’s a Snowman.” The subsequent idea, was a black coffin against a blue background, a color scheme that remained after we found the Lux ad we used for the cover in the end. Chris used the snowman art for a later Lookout winter catalog. Now we’re using it for a T-shirt. And that’s the story."
