In His Own Words Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds on the meaning of Evolve’s cover art
Imagine Dragons Evolve is available on iTunes.
“It (Evolve artwork) means coming out of a place of darkness and arriving at a place of color, almost being healed and rejuvenated. People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness. I have hard time focusing and have the feeling everything is gray. Sometimes when I come out of that and I enter a state of health again, it feels as though I’ve been underwater suffocating and I come out and gasp for air and suddenly I can breathe again. That’s what this record felt like for me. I came home, did a lot of work on myself and got to a place where the world was bright and colorful and beautiful and every day was exciting. I tried to represent that in the album art, and the artist Beeple did an amazing job depicting that.”
