Tag: joik

The album cover for Ivgu by Wimme + Rinne is dominated by red, black, and white. The central image resembles a symmetrical skeletal or clawed creature with elongated, flowing limbs, possibly inspired by Arctic or shamanic imagery. The background is a bold red with textured patterns, framed by black silhouettes that suggest branches, figures, or spirits. At the top, the artists' names appear in clean typography: “Wimme + Rinne,” while the album title “Ivgu” is set in a stylized serif font.
