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.
― queef ka queef (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Wednesday, 30 January 2013 04:09 (eleven years ago) link
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

i like it but its kind of a played out look in 2013 imho

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

― Jaap and roids (NickB), Thursday, 31 January 2013 09:40 (eleven years ago) link
Even their names are almost the same! Did he change his last name from "Bult" to "Grant" once he got on parole?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 31 January 2013 09:45 (eleven years ago) link
Haha yes, it's just perfect. He's come out saying he's a reformed character: given up the booze, quit the tobacco, got himself some book-learning - and yet all the same, he knows what you know and I know: the beast still lurks within.

Looks nice, but all the extra stuff on the cover kinda ruins the cool image. Why not have only the title there, and everything else on the back cover?
― Tuomas, Friday, 1 February 2013 09:17 (eleven years ago) link
It's part of the label's house style. Works better on some covers than others.
― Jaap and roids (NickB), Friday, 1 February 2013 09:28 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, but I'm not sure I understand why and when Sacred Bones decides to break with the house style. They're breaking it a little for the new Men record, but that one up there seems like a much better design to allow a break.
