catching up: dig the black milk, zoltan, pillar without mercy (hate the text design tho), tropic of cancer, saltine, pusha (great!)
drake, neko case, danny brown, audrey o'day & the weeknd are abysmal. how does that even happen?

Might be wrong about this, but I've noticed since vinyl sales have picked up that big, busy, slightly-psychedelic album art seems to also be making a resurgence. There must be a difference for artworkers when creating something for vinyl or CD markets?

it's like, if i'm going to shell out for something on vinyl, and i'm trying to pick between two albums but can't decide, often it's the artwork that's the deal maker.

Hmmm, I dunno how true it is (there could be lots of other reasons for the popularity of psychedelic imagery right now) but I could almost imagine that simply seeing more things on vinyl might encourage an artist to imagine their work in that nice large format, and go ahead and include details that they might otherwise not have. But then I think that the worst era for album art was probably the height of the CD years. Even stuff that I imagine doesn't sell that much on vinyl has been looking a lot better lately (big pop albums and stuff).
