Noteworthy album covers of 2013

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

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!

DJ Clap - Best Night Ever

Slava - Raw Solutions

Kind of a neat idea, but I wish the finished product was a little nicer to look at.

Also, hair + zippers = owwww!

I'd like that more if it meant the album cover was product placement for the special edition stained glass box set.

I'm just thrilled there's a new Mantles LP!!!

The Kiddycar one is a noteworthy album cover of 2009.

the Kiddycar cover is a crop of a Gottfried Helnwein painting.

From 2005. The plot thickens.

So it is. oops!

i don't think i like many of the noteworthy album covers of 2013 so far

splendid!

tbh it kind of looks like an ad, but I'm so excited to hear this album that I'm giving it some leeway.

no idea what the band sound like, but i like the cover.

I have the exact same carpet as the DJ CLAP cover.

I said it before but this has been honestly one of the laziest years I've seen in album artwork.

Artists like the Strokes, Phoenix, The Knife, Bowie, My Bloody Valentine, Justin Timberlake... they've been working what? like 5+ years on their albums and they had less than a day to create an actual cover? If they don't care enough I don't see why should I.
