Credit Where Credit Is Due
During the initial packaging construction of the latest Dandy Warhols album things were a bit crazy around the Odditorium. We had a big management shakeup and things were pretty confusing a real goddamn mess for a while. And the unthinkable happened: the identity of the photographer who took the cover photo the band selected was obscured. We messed up, and how. Credit for cover photo was given to our departed merch manager Sarah Buckley, when it wasn’t Sarah Buckley who took that photo at all. Turned out the photo, and the corresponding LP sleeve photo, was the work of Gabriel Alan Gallant. The Dandy Warhols would like to salute Gabriel and give him our unending gratitude.
I should add, personally, that was sick to hear of such an enormous editorial eff-up. Though we as an organization failed at every step of the way in properly identifying the photographer, as Dandys art director it’s ultimately my responsibility to get this stuff right on paper. I should have done better. I hope Gabriel will accept my sincerest apologies. Some may think it’s unnecessary, but we’re supposed to be pros, and this is was pretty amateurish mistake, no matter how many fires we were all trying to put out at the time.
So cheers to ya, Gabriel Alan Gallant. Thanks for your photo, and your generous heart.
