The cover art for Blessed's iii depicts a wall of wooden blocks, all different shapes, jumbled messily and precariously high against a softly-coloured background. It’s an image tha t captures Blessed at their most essential: experimental, asymmetrical, and interdependent, all the more remarkable for their marriage of those three qualities. Rather than aim for one uniform mix, Blessed pursued four separate ones: Corin Roddick (Purity Ring) on opener “Sign”; John McEntire (Tortoise) on “Structure”; Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck) on “Centre”; and vocalist Drew Riekman on closer “Movement.” The result is four tracks with distinctly different palettes and trajectories.
