Halloween weekHaunted Notebook Explore the covers

A different cover. Same bad attitude.

The notebook changes its cover every month. Each one takes its cues from a different corner of music, paper and internet culture. Explore the collection below.

Haunted Notebook is here through November 1. Coffee Shop Confessional takes over November 2.

Chrome Daydream notebook cover

January

Chrome Daydream

Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.

Mixtape Romance notebook cover

February

Mixtape Romance

Cassette ribbons, red-pen hearts and pink paper. For anyone who ever put too much thought into a mixtape.

Botanical Noise notebook cover

March

Botanical Noise

Vines wind around the speakers and flowers take over the margins. Spring gets the volume knob.

Arcade Fever notebook cover

April

Arcade Fever

Pixel ghosts, cherries and electric blue meet the notebook doodles. A little arcade cabinet in the margins.

Original, Turned Up notebook cover

May

Original, Turned Up

The pink splashes, coffee ring and black doodles that started it, with the volume turned up. The notebook's home colours.

Sticker Riot notebook cover

June

Sticker Riot

Peel-and-stick chaos: skulls, butterflies, hearts and neon lightning. Think of the back of your favourite battered laptop.

Cut-and-Paste Club notebook cover

July

Cut-and-Paste Club

Torn tickets, halftone fragments and bright scraps. A cover that borrows the rough edges of a wall full of gig flyers.

Xerox Afterparty notebook cover

August

Xerox Afterparty

Black ink, torn paper and acid-yellow sparks. A love letter to photocopied zines and the flyers you kept after the show.

Beautiful Overload notebook cover

September

Beautiful Overload

Stars, speakers, tape and every loud colour at once. Back-to-school stationery with absolutely no restraint.

Haunted Notebook notebook cover

October

Haunted Notebook

Moths, little ghosts and crimson ink creep through the black flourishes. The notebook has a late-night alter ego.

Coffee Shop Confessional notebook cover

November

Coffee Shop Confessional

Coffee rings, headphones and warm paper. A cover for the long walk home and the track you play again when you get there.

Cosmic Margin notebook cover

December

Cosmic Margin

Moons, moths and constellations spill across midnight-blue ink. The margins drift into space; the music keeps going.
