Papa Romeo 'Late Night Load Out'

Papa Romeo, a five-piece band from Dublin, blends elements of nu jazz with indie rock and bedroom pop. Their debut EP, Late Night Load Out, takes its name from an often-overlooked part of a musician’s life—the post-show scramble to pack up instruments and disappear into the night.

Visually, the design draws from the energy of both football culture and dance floors. Custom characters were created to embody the EP’s two singles, coming together on the record sleeve in a moment of tension and movement—are they dancing, fighting, or playing football? That’s left for the viewer to decide.

This project captures the chaos and camaraderie of live music, translating it into a dynamic, playful visual language that reflects the band's unique sound.
