The new album From A Place To Bury Strangers, Synthesizer, features a record cover that you can turn into a DIY synthesizer.

The album cover features the circuit board for the synthesizer. If you’ve got basic synth DIY skills, you can solder on the electrical components needed to turn it into a working synth.

This video, via Bay Mud, features a hands-on demo of the assembled synth, along with tips on assembling it.
