Issue 24 was by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, with contributions from experimental punk band No Age and director/photographer Todd Cole. It thematically revolved around the idea of deconstruction, a common theme in Rodarte's design work. The record's sound and imagery were repurposed from ‘Aanteni’ (2010), a short art and fashion film produced by Rodarte, which also featured direction by Todd Cole and an original soundtrack by No Age. The film explored similar themes of balance and chaos.
The 12” picture disc on clear vinyl featured two tracks by No Age. Side A featured the ambient 9-minute soundtrack from ‘Aanteni’ with an abstracted film still by Todd Cole. Side B featured a 13-minute live version of the track, “ruined” by looping the sound repeatedly on itself, with burnt remnants of Todd’s same film still. A highly conceptualized inner sleeve and gatefold jacket housed the issue, displaying more of Todd’s imagery.
