The charcoal base softens the black-and-white contrast just enough to make the whole piece feel more weathered, more lived in, more like something pulled from a studio wall instead of a merch table. The bone-white skeleton image still leads, but the added top detail gives it a rough, expressive finish that feels closer to paint than print.

On the back, Not For Everyone runs vertical with New Lost City underneath, tying it back to the identity of the label and the world around the music.
