Noteworthy album covers of 2015

Probably less sexual innuendo on Bella Union.

Suzanne Kraft - Talk From Home

Precisely the sort of album cover I would hope for from someone who took the pseudonym "Suzanne Kraft".

I can't explain why exactly, but that cover art is making me ANGRY.

Take it to the irrationally angry thread.

i think it's a great cover, but it does look a lot better against a non-white background

Kraft cover is horrible but the album is good

IRL lol @ Kraft = secretly Paddington

I was thinking Monie Love might be hiding under that hat. Agreed, great image.

I think it's just that style/shade of denim that sets me off.

Agree with JF on this. It's an annoyingly bad cover.

Have we done Chvurches' new 'Power, Corruption and Lies' homage? I like it.

love that but "sassyblack" aligned left really bothers me, should be center-aligned?

If they're going with the Star Wars font, I want a full opening crawl.

yeah, sassyblack text position makes it look like the watermark of a bad internet meme

Found these a few days ago when I came across the Atomnation bandcamp page. Beautiful covers and the albums are quite nice as well.

Paste are bad judges of music, but do they appreciate good art & design? find out

The 30 Best Album Covers of 2015 (So Far)
http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/07/the-30-best-album-covers-of-2015-so-far.html

the first choice is a NO

not a fan of most of those covers in the paste list

Any "best album covers" list that includes the Drake album gets the stink eye from me.

That list was terrible. There are, like, 3 good covers in the whole thing. (The Kid Rock one would be great if you got rid of the text. And if it wasn't for a Kid Rock album.)

Thought this effectively semaphored the content:

I don't think I'm into psych revival covers anymore.

love that capone n noreaga, could be a 70's george duke album

cover connection!

i like that capone n noreaga cover

CnN looks like a 70s jazz record where the cover tricks you into the thinking the music is outre but it ends up being like trad standards when you put it on and you're a bit let down.

New Tame Impala is a Synergy record. I actually kinda like it.

I like the cover. The music... eh.

Howls Of Ebb cover is by Wiley Trieff.

Nice. Love that their label seems to have a generally high standard when it comes to the cover art.

I really like that Black Ryder cover. Kind of Twin Peaksy.
