That's the remix version of Gloss Drop btw. The phrase that springs to my mind looking at that is 'you can't polish a turd'.

I'm not asking for Bonnie Raitt's cover to be literal or anything, but what does "Slipstream" have to do with her walking up an industrial staircase?

I like that we are going for "noteworthy" rather than good or bad, because in most cases it's obvious. But for some of the ones Bee OK posted upthread I have no idea if they liked them or not.

The band above is an unlikely mix of dudes from Les Savy Fav, Orchid, Panthers, Black Army Jacket, and matt pond PA, with DFA ties. The cover is striking and highlights this oddness.

don't hate the jam city cover, but it's quite dull. it could be advertising flooring or glazing material in an architectural trade magazine. except for the spilled motorcycle, but that's not doing much for me.

I like the Jam City even though the "COLD IMPOSING 80s HE DOESN'T HAVE A NAME HIS NAME IS DRIVER ALSO MIDNIGHT CITY" aesthetic is rapidly getting played out.

^ Too easy to mock the terrible covers you find in the emusic listings, but this one cracked me up

Been playing this pretty much 24/7 lately, makes up for the immense letdown Six Cups Of Rebel still continues to be. Also still the best artwork of 2012 so far.

it's an EP not an album but I think we can all agree on this being a noteworthy aesthetic shift for Akufen
