Taiwanese Band Qing Di Release Physical Edition of Third Album "沈默的鉅作"
Taiwanese indie rock band Qing Di (淺堤) have released a physical edition of their third album, 《沈默的鉅作》. The standard edition is now available through major retailers, while a limited-run deluxe edition is sold exclusively through the band's official online store, linked from their Instagram bio. The album's visual concept was handled by photographer Tim and designer 嘉宏 (Jiahong), with the two editions differing notably in how the lyric pages are presented.
Where to buy
- Standard edition: available now at major retailers (specific stores not named in the source)
- Deluxe edition: limited quantity, available only via the band's official store (link in their Instagram bio)
- Newsletter back-issue requests: open until Wednesday, August 26, 23:59; reissues sent roughly 24 hours after payment verification
The band noted that the newsletter issue featuring an in-depth look at the album's production process and band conversations was sent out in a previous mailing. Fans who missed it can still subscribe before the August 26 deadline to receive it as a one-time backdated resend. Because the process is handled manually, the band says to expect delivery within about 24 hours of payment confirmation.
The visuals and packaging
The band originally planned an all black-and-white photo series for the album. While searching for a photographer, members encountered Tim's work at a friend's wedding and decided to collaborate — member 方博 (Fang Bo) already knew him personally. Designer 嘉宏 has a longer history with the band: he first sent them an introductory email back in 2019, and the two sides crossed paths again at a live show while the album was in production last year.
According to the band, the biggest undertaking on the whole record was the pre-production work behind the inner artwork. In the standard edition, the lyrics are presented as a single lyric poster built from a 3D composite image; in the deluxe edition, they're instead spread across individually turnable pages. The cover photo itself wasn't part of the original shoot plan — it came from two shots Tim took on the spot, on impulse.
