German general in occupied France. He reveals the location of a
bank housing 14,000 bars of Nazi gold, which Kelly and his men set

"It's that sort of artwork which looks like it was never made by
anyone, it simply exists in its own realm." --Paul Pope, Battling
Boy "Airbrushed insanity." --Daniel Lopatin, Oneohtrix Point Never
Floodgate Companion is comprised of previously unseen artwork
recalling the heyday of paperback sci-fi, experimental animation,
and the outsider realm of artist-released jazz and psychedelic
records. This book brings the viewer into a world uniquely Beatty's
own, moving stylistically through ink drawings, digital airbrush
paintings, and psychedelic op-art collage framed in asemic type to
create a cosmic and immersive artifact. Robert Beatty emerged from
the mid-2000s American noise music underground to become one of the
most sought-after figures in contemporary album art, designing
upwards of seventy-five record covers in the past ten years. His
designs include award-winning album covers and logos for Tame
Impala, Oneohtrix Point Never, Neon Indian, Real Estate, and
Peaking Lights. In addition to album art Beatty creates
installations and illustrations for publications as diverse as
Lucky Peach, The Wire Magazine, and The New York Times. His artwork
and design has been featured in the art comic anthologies Mould Map
and Kramers Ergot. Robert was the first artist featured in
Pitchfork.tv's documentary series Pitchfork Unsung, focusing on
individuals who've made significant contributions to music but
remain outside the spotlight.

Starring Robert Beatty, Jack Warner and Simone Signoret, it is the story of a diverse group of people from very different backgrounds, who were brought together in one of the strangest enterprises of the war. Sabotage was their job; sabotage organised from London in the form of macabre practical jokes as ingenious as they were injurious to the enemy. The work was over-clouded with the constant fear of discovery – and what it would mean.
