💦 It was during this tour that Placebo announced the 𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕, in February 2015, who wanted to pursue his personal ambitions, leaving the place to 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕 𝑳𝒖𝒏𝒏 who finished the tour behind the drums.

💦 The colourful visuals that accompanied the band's stage performance were made in collaboration with 𝑱𝒖𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆, the same man who did the artwork for Loud Like Love.

Placebo has not refrained from putting in the effort to make sure that the fans get the most out of the visual effects during the concerts.

💦 Julian House was based on the band's desire to change their "𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑒𝑠𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑐" to something more colourful and to add a psychedelic element. Julian took a sci-fi imagery straight out of the 70s/80s and inserted an explosion as "𝐿𝑜𝑢𝑑 𝐿𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 [ℎ𝑖𝑚] 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 [...] 𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙, 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔."

"Our design on tour is meant to be a continuation of the album artwork - without too much fuss and pyrotechnics. Nevertheless, we have cosmic explosions and colourful psychedelia as visuals on the screens."

Dear friends,
Placebo album covers are an eternal theme for all fans. As soon as the cover of the last album "Never Let Me Go" appeared, the celebratory and condemning comments were immediately dominated by social networks.

Today, I want to focus on the artwork of the INTRO design studio, which created the cover of the 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 album from 2013.
Its creative director is 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞.
For me personally, Julian's work is a masterpiece. Together with the amazing photographs by 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐡 𝐋𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬, it is a breathtaking perfection that brilliantly expresses the combination of psychedelic visions with colorful emotions emanating from the songs.

The artwork of Julian's studio and the photos of Mr. Llanes could be enjoyed mainly by all fans who ordered the album ⭐Loud Like Love Limited Super Deluxe Edition.⭐
Which one of you has this gem?

However, it is necessary to mention other artists who, together with Julian House, contributed to the visual stage effects during the LLL tour -
🔸𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐬.🔸
You can also see Catherine's works at concerts by many other well-known artists - I name U2, Shawn Mendes, Michael Buble, Coldplay for all of them.

Here are two links to her work:

And here's a link to Sam Williams' studio and his video accompanying the entire Placebo world LLL tour:

Dear soulmates, let's remember today what Brian's ideas were about the cover of the album LLL ... An album full of ambiguous lyrics, emotions and melancholy ...:

Album cover

🔸💬𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 “𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆” 𝒊𝒔 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒂 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎 𝒍𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒕, 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎 𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆. 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓? 𝑾𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔’ 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕?
"Absolutely. I went specifically to the design company and told them that I wanted to make a clean break with the Placebo aesthetic which has built up over several albums – quite minimalist, figurative, and very much about the human body, and I thought that we’d kind of taken it as far as it could, and if it had continued, I think it could have fallen into the realm of self-parody or just running out of ideas.


So I went to the design company, asking for something very different, and we talked a lot about psychedelic film/’60s and ‘70s film, sci-fi imagery, photographers that inspired us, French comic books, graphic novels, movies like The Man Who Fell to Earth. We talked a lot about counter-culture and psychedelia. My first love, musically, was psychedelic, so I wanted to make reference to that kind of aesthetic. The designer just ran with it.


We were talking about putting it through the filter of modern technology and that sort of video aesthetic, as well, and the whole idea was to have something with psychedelic, sci-fi tones that had a humanity about it that was otherworldly, but that had something familiar to it, as well. We basically wanted to start a new story. I think we felt that there was a certain amount of rebirth going on within the band itself, and that that should be reflected in the artwork. We tended to carry that aesthetic through tour visuals and merchandising, and throughout the whole campaign."

It's very beautiful to liven up these amazing moments, don't you think?
Especially now that we are all waiting for new surprises that the band has prepared for us to release their eighth album.
