Sleaford mods going for an alt tentacles '90 vibe

ewww

Lool. Sleaford Mods is pretty great, though. And while the album cover is horrible, it's pretty in keeping with his schtick.

Reminds me of more than one Crust 7".

sleaford mods cover is great!!

Chipshop chips are gross though. I am a bad Englander.

want to see a big version of that - what is that little guy up to?

air purifier by the look of it. That's going to take a while.

Poor little feller. Wonder what the location is supposed to be - Ganymede or somewhere I guess. I like the way the eye of Jupiter is watching them.

New Four Tet one is a bit hmmm

the cd that came out today has a terribly cheap looking picture of kesha rubbing wayne coyne's feet.

It looks like a mid-90s punk comp! I like it way better than the Aja-by-way-of-Radiohead aesthetic of the record store day cover.

Astral Social Club: Magic Smile

ick.

This is actually just a single cover, and it's pushing the limits of the whole faux aging meme, but it's really appealing imo. (Although, the song kicks ass.)

(*Also, the song kicks ass.)

going back a week, but that haxan cloak thing is just the standard latitudes layout with some hermetic clip art dropped in the middle

ty seagal slaughterhouse cover is fantastic, even if it does resemble master's bedroom. the seething obsessiveness of the detailing gives it a weird energy. it's like a louis wain version.

White Suns is a) GORGEOUS, b) now something I need to check out

emphasis mine

Astral Social Club cover reminds me of the Axiom/Praxis/Material album covers from the 90s.

oooh there's a new astral social club album

argh

It took me several minutes of Googling to figure out that the cover up there wasn't for the new single by Jesu, titled "The Late Great Fitzcarraldos."

I like this one:

Fennesz: AUN

f*ck it.

i still think this suits the bands style, and seeing as no-one else is going to drop it on the thread, i guess i'll have to :

ffs. i liked a couple of their songs early on. their last (debut) LP wasn't great, but at least it wasn't a giant dick in the world's eye.

(wrestling with the fact that one of those early singles i liked was called "blind muslim girl")
