The process for making the album art for this is similar to what I had done for my prior single Ring of Operators, where I took a Polaroid I had taken and edited it. Something different about this is that there were more intermediate steps from the Polaroid that came out of my camera and the end result album art due to scanning it before and after manipulation, editing out a bit of emulsion that had broken showing the white part underneath the photo, and then doing some tinting to give it an interesting look.

Finished album art:

Exile to Mars' most recent album is an interesting electronic album combining influences of synthwave, minimalist composition, baroque pop, and minimal electronic music. This album in ways seems to have an interesting relation to their prior album NP Complete, as one of the songs on Kernel Panic named CISC uses parts from the NP Complete song RISC. There are also some similar musical threads like having clarinet parts that in Kernel Panic are performed on a clarinet instead of using some sort of MIDI clarinet like in NP Complete, the use of a Yamaha CS-5(this appears to be common in most Exile To Mars albums), old drum machine sounds, and string sections. My favorite song is Wave Shape Converter.
