Chances of that cover being better than the music within? Pretty solid. I like the cover though.

i really like this cover
[the album also features diane birch on additional vocals]

It'd be better without the "Phenomenal Handclap Band" text.
(I know next to nothing about the band, the name just makes me irrationally angry)
― Who wants to see the great Pavarotti sit on a pie? (jer.fairall), Friday, 3 February 2012 17:08 (twelve years ago) link
you see i was thinking it would be better without the 'form & control' text !
and like you i knew nothing re the band until it dropped through the letter box today
― mark e, Friday, 3 February 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
I like both lines of text AND I like this band. So there.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 3 February 2012 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
I've never really heard any of their albums, but I remember KEXP playing a song of theirs I really liked.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 3 February 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link

One of the guys on npr's all songs considered who isn't bob boelin was talking them up quite a bit a few years back. Don't remember what they actually sounded like, but maaan do I hate that name.

i like it, it's interesting.
the Rhine Gold one is really brilliant though.

Love the Rhine Gold and have decided that I also really like the Phenomenal Handclap Band one, at least the title type. But I can't picture that one existing as anything other than a vaguely musty smelling LP.
Buildings feels like it's trying too hard, or at least having the title on the oranges pushed it that way for me.

the last krit album cover was awesome too

Buildings whatever that is is the worst thing itt so far by about 50000000 miles

yeah the handclap band cover just bothers me, its too blatantly trying to be a "all things must pass" or "houses of the holy." good at the aesthetic it's trying to represent but too much instagram's p much ruined that for me
― chilli, Saturday, 4 February 2012 07:54 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i stumbled upon that one kind of randomly (while searching for a completely different band called Buildings) and was like UGH HOLY SHIT
― pfunkbo bryson (some dude), Saturday, 4 February 2012 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i'm real glad that's not the dc band buildings

Someone basically was tweaking with the 'shadows/highlights' feature in photoshop.

wooden shjips one is making me feel oddly weepy and im not sure why.
― Darren Huckerby (Dwight Yorke), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
young magic is nice. get a ho-hum, treading-water feeling off wooden shjips and that cadillac one upthread. agree about the font though.
― Little GTFO (contenderizer), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:28 (twelve years ago) link
i know wooden shjips isn't chillwave but that cover reads very generic chillwave to me
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:28 (twelve years ago) link
Wooden Shjips one is perfect, especially playing off the artwork for the parent album, but I also sort of feel like it should be a Trans Am album with that font. Or like Trans Am should have used that Wooden Shjips font for this one:
