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

dr dre throwing dubstep balloons (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Sunday, 5 February 2012 04:20 (fourteen years ago)

If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Sunday, 5 February 2012 06:21 (fourteen years ago)

Kindness- Cyan 12". Not sure yet about the song, but the sleeve kind of jumped out at me for whatever reason.

julien dyne
foxy shazam
paul brill

neat

all apart and no pull (electricsound), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 03:16 (fourteen years ago)

a bit too obvious "liquify" effect in photoshop, but wow if that isn't a striking cover

wooden shjips remixes ep. simple and perfect

mizzell, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 16:15 (fourteen years ago)

i always love seeing that font

meat o.d. (electricsound), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:08 (fourteen years ago)

wooden shjips one is making me feel oddly weepy and im not sure why.

Darren Huckerby (Dwight Yorke), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:25 (fourteen years ago)

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 (fourteen years ago)

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 (fourteen years ago)

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:

That looks the special fx always used in tv and movies when someone's about to enter a wormhole.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 00:43 (fourteen years ago)

meat o.d. (electricsound), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 00:44 (fourteen years ago)

The three tracks on soundcloud from this album so far are light years ahead of the album from a couple years back with "The Outs".

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 00:45 (fourteen years ago)

good good

meat o.d. (electricsound), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 00:46 (fourteen years ago)
