The Meters

The Meters are a New Orleans funk band whose 70s recordings helped define the sound of the city. Les Yeux led creative direction, art direction, and design across their reissues: the deluxe box set, standard pressing, CD, and Record Store Day exclusive. The design drew on the band's New Orleans roots, working Mardi Gras colours and motifs into every format. The deluxe edition added curated ephemera, including a gumbo recipe card, a Mardi Gras crown poster, and a custom slipmat. The sleeves were grounded in 1975 through archival photography, scans of the original reel-to-reel tapes, and a reference to the 1981 bootleg art that first documented part of the Great American Music Hall concert.
