Stone Island Sound has been on a run this summer. The techwear imprint has long been closely aligned with the sonic sphere, but recent months have signaled a greater focus on the label’s audio arm. After working closely with Dave on an entirely custom, stage-ready Stone Island wardrobe for his The Boy Who Played The Harp World Tour, unveiling a slate of playlists billed as SOUND AS A FORM OF RESEARCH, and locking in on its custom vinyl releases, the label has lifted the veil on its next limited-edition release.

The latest vinyl in the lineup is Sage Elsesser‘s latest Navy Blue studio project. Sir Render, which dropped back in June, marks one of the musician’s most introspective works to date, its 15 tracks cemented in themes of duality, identity, and transformation.

The motif at the core of the album’s story is a knight confronting internal conflict, with this recurring character directly informing SI Sound’s reimagining of the physical release as a collectible artifact. With artwork by Liam Macrae, the Stone Island take on Sir Render is structurally composed as a diptych, showcasing two distinct sculptural forms in homage to the record’s roots in duality.

The first image features a custom bust of Elsesser himself, envisioned as an archetypal figure, adorned in bespoke chainmail armor. As for the second, a custom shield is showcased, stamped with Stone Island’s signature stellina logo. In tandem, the diptych forms a unified system, symbolic of the balance of vulnerability and defense, the interior and the exterior.

Cop one of the special edition vinyl collectibles beginning tomorrow, July 16, when they drop at select Stone Island flagship stores worldwide and via Navy Blue’s official webstore at 10 a.m. EST.
