Auris Apothecary’s unique album packaging
Your CD might come in a case with an interactive wheel you can spin to change the original line art. Your cassette might be housed in a 45 record melted and molded around it.
You might be in the record store reaching curiously for the Air Pu(t)rifier, a CDr enhanced with glued-on herbs whose scent will fill the air if you dare warm it up, and accidentally knock over a tiny bottle of pepper mix inexplicably hidden in the display. Whatever the quality of the release, with tiny DIY label Auris Apothecary, the packaging is sure to be a work of art.

Hailing from upstate New York, Phantogram were signed by the uber-hip Ghostly label on the recommendation of School of Seven Bells. Hardly surprising given Phantogram’s dark, beats-and-samples pop sound.
