don't hate the jam city cover, but it's quite dull. it could be advertising flooring or glazing material in an architectural trade magazine. except for the spilled motorcycle, but that's not doing much for me.

I like the Jam City even though the "COLD IMPOSING 80s HE DOESN'T HAVE A NAME HIS NAME IS DRIVER ALSO MIDNIGHT CITY" aesthetic is rapidly getting played out.

Been playing this pretty much 24/7 lately, makes up for the immense letdown Six Cups Of Rebel still continues to be. Also still the best artwork of 2012 so far.

it's an EP not an album but I think we can all agree on this being a noteworthy aesthetic shift for Akufen
