Like in 24 Frames – Redivider

Redivider is the fourth full-length album from Sacramento indie/alternative rock band Life in 24 Frames, released independently on March 24, 2023. The album is built around a cyclical concept: song titles are palindromes, the album title itself reads the same forward and backward, and the record is split into mirrored A and B sides that pit an internal critic against an optimist.

Band founder Kris Adams brought that framework to the conversation early, and the design challenge was finding a visual equivalent for it. The solution centers on a geometric tunnel structure that radiates outward in repeating, nested forms, pulling the eye inward toward a lone figure rendered deliberately out of focus, small and distant, as if observed from the far end of a corridor of thought. The figure is surrounded by roiling nebula photography, textured and atmospheric, suggesting the noise of internal conflict. Against that chaos, the geometric forms impose a kind of visual order, the cyclical structure made literal and spatial.

The logotype was designed specifically for this release. The word Redivider is itself a palindrome, and the lettering reflects that: end characters are mirrored and reversed, making the word perform its own concept at a glance. The custom letterforms sit low on the cover, wide and grounded, anchoring the composition beneath the tunnel and giving the design a clean entry point after the density of everything above.
