What have we got here 👀 @kidkatanarecords.bsky.social @dontnod.bsky.social

The record's artwork depicts a serene landscape at sunset or sunrise, with a large, bright sun low on the horizon, casting an orange glow over a body of water. Numerous small islands with dark, silhouetted trees are scattered across the water. Above the horizon line, four pairs of feet hang down, suggesting people are sitting on a ledge overlooking the scene. The overall ambiance is calm and artistic. The background reveals a living room with a plant on the left and a teal armchair on the right.

The image presents the full gatefold artwork of the Lost Records: Bloom & Rage vinyl laid flat on a light wooden surface, surrounded by other white papers. The left panel of the artwork shows a band performing on what appears to be an elevated stage or platform made of wooden planks. The same three characters from the previous image are depicted: the guitarist on the left, the singer in the middle with her arm raised, and another vocalist on the right with a microphone. Below them are what look like amplifiers, emitting a red glow from their bases. A white banner with some dark text, possibly "RAGE," hangs in front of the stage. Tall, dark evergreen trees frame the stage on both sides. The right panel of the artwork features a lone figure from the back, holding a camera or phone, seemingly filming or photographing the performance. This character wears a dark jacket with blue accents and dark shorts. Behind her, more dark evergreen trees stand tall under a twilight sky with a subtle blue-green hue. In the distance, a white vehicle with illuminated headlights is visible, adding a sense of being outdoors at dusk or night. The overall mood is dynamic and lively, capturing a concert scene in a natural setting.

A close-up of the inner gatefold artwork of the Lost Records: Bloom & Rage vinyl, featuring three stylized, animated characters. The character on the left has short, dark hair with pink highlights, holding a white electric guitar. Her expression is focused and determined. In the center, a character with blonde hair, wearing a grey t-shirt and dark shorts, is captured mid-jump with her right arm raised in excitement, her mouth open as if singing or shouting. To her right, another character with dark hair, wearing a dark t-shirt and trousers, is singing into a microphone, her eyes closed and arm raised. The background is a soft, light blue, suggesting a sky, with faint outlines of what appear to be tents or structures at the bottom. The style is vibrant and energetic, capturing a moment of a live musical performance.
