I'm a big fan of the work by Malleus collective, but I prefer their tour posters, which are not as subdued as the more tasteful albums, heh.

I voted for this one in this week's Cover Art Battle.

It's currently runner-up to this. The B&W makes it seem incomplete to me.

Ka - Grief Pedigree

The Reverend, Sunday, 19 February 2012 07:18 (fourteen years ago)

so not good. this thread is baffling to me. last good album cover = that young magic thing that johnny posted.

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 19 February 2012 07:57 (fourteen years ago)

appreciate chantal morte and ufomammut as drawings, like in terms of technique and execution, but that's about it.

i dunno, maybe i'm being too squeamish abt the chantal morte art... it's certainly striking and memorable.

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:00 (fourteen years ago)

I like it. You see all these kinda random things but might miss that Ka is lurking behind them, masked up and watching your every move.

Also, I think you misunderstand the point of this thread.

The Reverend, Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:34 (fourteen years ago)

the point is i comment on things ppl post, no

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:35 (fourteen years ago)

I like that Ka cover

plee help i am lookin for (crüt), Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:37 (fourteen years ago)

xp "noteworthy" != best

The Reverend, Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:53 (fourteen years ago)

good point

in that case, that Sot7B cover is endlessly noteworthy and should be reposted as often as possible

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 19 February 2012 09:00 (fourteen years ago)

yeah this thread became the rolling cover thread, as opposed to 'best of the year'/'worst of the year' getting muddled in previous times.

not crazy about the band name look/placement but the rest of it is v. nice. the album is fantastic also.

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:56 (fourteen years ago)

That drawing is quite Savage Pencil-ish imo, but not as acid-damaged and melty.

Feebs K-Tel (NickB), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 22:18 (fourteen years ago)

The first thing I thought when I saw that Grimes cover was "Headache EP"!

good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 22:38 (fourteen years ago)

MarkoP, Friday, 24 February 2012 14:43 (fourteen years ago)

huh.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 24 February 2012 16:35 (fourteen years ago)

lame.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 24 February 2012 16:40 (fourteen years ago)

tbh, though, "Huh?" is kind of how I feel about Spiritualized anyway.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 24 February 2012 16:40 (fourteen years ago)

lame.

Meh

Feebs K-Tel (NickB), Friday, 24 February 2012 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

Makes the last couple of BJM covers look positively iconic.

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 24 February 2012 17:34 (fourteen years ago)

Am I the only one who at first thought the Spiritiualized pic was some kind of a "no hotlinking" image?

Tuomas, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 09:20 (fourteen years ago)

Pretty cool, though I think that particular way of typing the artist and album name has been done to death in electronic music.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 10:20 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, that whole cover could be something straight out of the Touch Music catalogue
