IRENE — LP Design (Photography of IZY band members by WILK)
‘“Irene” is the debut album from Izy, a Melbourne-based trio originally hailing from Cairns in Australia’s tropical North. A deeply mature album from a very young band, Irene is a 10 song collection of raw neo-soul grooves, rich vocal harmony and subtle jazz guitar. A stripped back, simple recording of a band killing it in a room.”’ ( IZY MUSIC BANDCAMP)

IRENE — CD Digipak
“…both the band and the album are named after Irene, Guitarist Ryo Montgomery’s paternal grandmother; an important source of support and comfort in the band’s formative years.”
The sun-like shape in the middle and the bright orange symbolise Irene’s radiating love; While the sketchy infinity sign is drawn on the photo which suggests entanglement; connection, unity and infinity. Cochin font is used as album title, which is classic, old-style but elegant.

Single — No Further Than you
Half sun is used instead of full, which hints incompletion and the fact that (Ryo) is “Impossible to genuinely give my(his) whole heart to another…”; and the “existential crisis every Saturday of anger and regret.
