Featuring Justin Vernon. I don't know if that lessons or heightens your excitement.

No, I think it's kind of wonderfully cheesy and apropos for the old codger. EC don't give a fuck, and it shows.

Yeah ok I get that. Having worked with him and his camp, he (they) kinda DOES give a fuck though, which is why this surprises me a little.

New Stetson = too much Vernon = bummer. It's a lot lighter than the last full length.

makes me think of shellac 1000 hurts too, the cd was packaged in a box similar to that used for reel-to-reel tape

Last two are solid enough that I'm close to Googling those bands.
Is that the one where he's giving the camera a sour look like you're getting too close to his Bentley?

guy who did the FFAF artwork is a nice dude of my acquaintance, he has loads of stuff like that ('snowskull' on instagram iirc). can't say much for the actual band though

meant to add the vastum cover the other day, but forgot. so great! was bummed by the comparatively dull imagery on the vinyl version, but turns out it has a poster of that ghastly thing inside (uncropped art, no text).

the artist, paolo girardi, also did the covers for this year's power trip and inquisition albums (among a ton of other stuff, busy dude). think i might have posted the former somewhere way upthread...
