Local Rider Label is a music label. For Kidislive’s “Emergency Lights EP”, Ouff Grafik designed the vinyl release artwork: front cover, back cover, record label and a wide version of the cover graphic.

Design: the lettering is stretched and warped into flowing ribbons, as if seen through moving light — a visual take on the title “Emergency Lights”.

Coral-red strokes with a blue offset shadow on a deep aubergine background. “KID IS LIVE” and “EMERGENCY LIGHTS EP” are set in a tall condensed sans in red and blue. The record is translucent red vinyl with a dark label that repeats the warped ribbons. The back cover places a smaller block of distorted type above the track list, with the label’s logo and a barcode below.

01 — 04

Letters that bend like flashing lights.

The same warped type runs across the front, the back, the record label and the wide version, so every format reads as part of one release.
