Noteworthy album covers of 2013

nice

"Shooting at the walls of heartache, bang bang..."

Sort of hate the band, but I routinely like their covers

Never heard of them, but that looks very 80s to me, in a way that does not meet with the common 80s signifiers.

kinda looks like a jazz album cover but not in blue note way

Kinski - Cosy Moments

lol

reminds me of weezer's raditude.

crossed with hotel california, yeah

The photographer's work was in an exhibit at the Met in NYC recently:

Inspired by chase scenes in 1960s and 1970s action movies and television shows such as Bullitt, The Streets of San Francisco, and The Dukes of Hazzard, Porter’s photographs of floating muscle cars are captivatingly implausible. The vehicles are die-cast models that the artist shoots in his studio, mimicking the lighting conditions of the backgrounds into which they are inserted. Here, a 1970 Plymouth GTX hovers above a hazy streetscape near downtown Los Angeles, glinting in the late afternoon sun like a modern-day winged chariot.

Has their logo always had that Firefox swirl in the "O"? It makes them look like a crisp, refreshing juice blend.

that "O" is new, to my knowledge.

uh..

Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement - Black Magic Cannot Cross Water

It's just a 7", but I love this one:

gah, such a sucker for the nostalgic sci-fi surrealism of the la big vic and three-legged race covers. both i assume are by robert beatty (aka three legged race, has done stuff for burning star core and oneohtrix point never, among others). more of that, yes please.

also, oh sees is freaky and eat skull makes me smile. like the umberto, but dude will never top prophecy of the black widow. warning: do not listen to wasnatch.

dude's got a four story house, he can afford it

Jasper TX -- An Index of Failure

Cool. I'm thankful they resisted adding any type there.

My first thought was wow that's an amazing photo, but it's just two different pictures stuck together right?

Rather misleadingly, that sky is very metal.

Guess this should be here:

The Embassy - Sweet Sensation
http://i.imgur.com/LyTCXtV.jpg

That looks like a hundred different cds from the used bin in 1992.

Specifically, Ned's Atomic Dustbin.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

uh, spacemen 3?

well, in their case a tshirt

more than coincidence, i imagine

If they're some perfect combination of RHCP, Spacemen 3, and Ned's, I'll be ecstatic.

Red's Atomic Spaceman

it's early 90sish indie electronica. vocals are maybe a little sonicesque. not half bad actually

i love when something in this thread forces me to check out a band. googling Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement now

The Embassy (the band not this album cover) is pretty fucking great. I'm surprised there's not much ILM love for them (that I've found - If they've been discussed please point me to where) Remind me of New Order x The Tough Alliance. Their 2005 album is a balearica classic and the new one is pretty awesome too.

i definitely hear the balearic aspect of it

Sounds very 1990ish; The Beloved style loved-up indie/dance. No bad thing.

dont sleep on the tensnake remix from a few years back

pan pipes!
