Boardwalk Papers by Alex Pandrea

Open a sealed pack of nostalgia with each new deck of Boardwalk Papers playing cards. With every shuffle, every cut, and every deal, you’ll find this deck harkening back to the days when fortunes were won or lost with the turn of a card, and Atlantic City held itself the capital of the Western World. Printed by The Expert Playing Card Company, Boardwalk Papers sport hand-drawn artwork and metallic foil embossings that reflect the golden age of the USA. You’ll quickly discover that much like the American spirit of yesteryear, they’re built to last.

With the band wanting to move on from the previous album's military tinged theme and "explore different aesthetics", the artwork of Empire was inspired by vintage playing cards. According to Tom, they happened to see a deck of cards and "it looked cool." The album and single covers are adapted from Paul-Émile Bécat's Le Florentin, a set of erotic playing cards, and were designed by Andy Hayes. "It just looked amazing," Serge explained. "I loved the colours, the look in his eyes and the way he's holding the girl. They're strange things, playing cards. They have a mad history. The things that have been won and lost through cards is insane." The album sleeve also contains original art by Julie Verhoeven, depicting the four band members and select lyrics
