Alex Salazar Album

My brother, Alex Salazar, wrote his album, Nowhere Else Than Right Now, in the first few years of his music career. In February of 2025, him, Colby Watts (Drums), Matt Esau (Keys), and myself (Bass) had the opportunity to record this album at Cincy Sound Studios in West Chester, Ohio. Three singles were released in the upcoming months to the album: Together, A Song for Her, and Hair Dye, and the full album was released on August 30, 2025.

To portray the handmade feel of Alex’s music, the album cover features a black-and-white sketched version of him with his guitar on a textured chipboard. Other elements of the illustration reference the songs’ lyrics, titles, and significant moments for Alex and the band, The Urban Legend. The art for the single covers continued this trend, the icons become elements of the full album cover upon release.

On top of the album art, we decided to film and put together a music video for Together, featuring the band as the hosts and characters on the Urban Ledger News Network (ULNN). Inspiration came from nostalgic news broadcasts from the ‘90s and ‘00s, and the project was a fun experiment in the entire filmmaking process of screenwriting, filming, and editing.
