Noteworthy album covers of 2012

I'm pretending also that it's Mike Watt freaking out five miles down the road from the Double Nickels shot as Donald Pleasence steps out of the van ahead.

i'm digging the new laetitia. nice haircut btw

yipes, that umberto cover is terrible. looks like a throw-away cell phone picture with some awkward photoshopping.

heads ain't ready

^^

skull ruins it

it would be nothing without the skull!! nothing!

a cover with nothing but that skull x 30 would be amazing

skull ruins it

people and their ideas

a field of tiny skulls that when squinted at "magically" reveals the image of a trilaterally dimensional skull

it hurts me to disagree with some of you, but so be it

it would be nothing without the skull!! nothing!

srsly

that cover reminds me of ethereal killer for some reason

Except that is good.

Reading the praise for that Umberto cover is making me question my own reality and sense of order in the universe.

i laugh every time i see it, and it seems to contain certain vitamins.

just so

if i had one of those restoration hardware frames into which you put album covers, i would put it and offer no explanation to all who complained

i tried to magic eye that row, electricsound, but it only made additional skulls

Amazing cover for the reissue of Dopesmoker:

Nice neon anemones on the cover of the new Lone album:

Nice. I think this might be one of my favorite Bobby P covers yet.

want to like the new dopesmoker cover, as i've been a roper fan for ages, but like i said on some sleep thread or another, this is the best part of the design, imo:

the rest is just dull

Lone album

!

it's on spotify, kind of went straight past me on first listen though after the first couple of tracks

lone cover is perfect

from late '11, but still noteworthy.. "fucking dispair" by fat history month

*despair

that is a pear with a penis

y

not fucking dispear?

i am laughing but i don't know why

I thought the white van in the Unberto cover was a disco ball sitting in the back seat. Like, skeleton and his buddy disco ball driving around on a rainy night. And I loved it.

Google "holbein skull", people. The skull is an allusion.

i was pretty sure i saw it

buh-dump tish.

Roll on, Troll Wave.

Jimmy Edgar - Majenta

got the umberto record today, the cover is even better in 12" form

Excellent! Does the back cover add anything to the narrative?

it appears to be a female hitch-hiker from the 80s

so sort of, yes
