AWOLNATION

For AWOLNATION’s fifth album, The Phantom Five, Aaron Bruno envisioned a crew of five anonymous misfits to symbolize the band’s lineup. After exploring illustrated concepts, we pivoted to a photographic approach centered around the band’s “A-N” logo and five kid-sized rebels in matching sweatsuits, Converse, gloves, and paper maché skull masks, posed on a giant wooden structure they seemingly built themselves—evoking a mysterious cult, gang, or mischievous neighborhood crew.
