Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

Posted on May 15th 2009

Stefan Sagmeister designs the packaging for the collector's edition of David Byrne and Brian Eno's collaborative album.


Stefan Sagmeister’s design for David Byrne and Brian Eno’s Everything That Happens Will Happen Today takes album packaging to a uniquely tangible level. Inspired by the folksy, but not dark music, Sagmeister created a miniature suburban scene with idiosyncratic details – some seemingly innocuous (an oil stain on the driveway), some quite curious (an industrial-size air conditioning unit on the front lawn) and others more disturbing (a gasoline canteen in the kitchen). This special edition package includes the 3D diorama, light-activated sound effects, a 92-page lyrics mini-booklet, the music CD, a bonus DVD with enhanced content, and other surprises.
