The artwork for Kate Bush’s Aerial album, released in 2005, as well as for its single, “King of the Mountain”, features Bodega Serif (probably Bodega Serif Black) on all text.
Aerial was a return to music for Bush after a 12-year absence. It is a double album, where one side is titled A Sea of Honey, and the other A Sky of Honey, or An Endless Sky of Honey. The cover depicts the sea and sky in honey yellow, divided by a waveform of a blackbird style to resemble a landscape reflected in the water.
The album follows a similar structure as her 1985 album, Hounds of Love, where one section of the record features standalone tracks, and the other section (The Ninth Wave on Hounds of Love, and An Endless Sky of Honey on Aerial) is a continuous song cycle.
The designs for Aerial are attributed to “Kate and Peacock”, i.e. Kate Bush and Peacock, the London design studio founded by Keith Peacock. The drawing on the cover for “King of the Mountain” is by her son, Bertie.
