an album cover like that is usually to distract from a shitty album

oh c'mon david byrne just has tons of wack/wacky ideas, i don't think he's the slightest bit self-conscious about whether his record is good when makes some goofy video or cover art for it

Holy Mountain consistently put out gorgeous-looking records. This is the White Manna album, don't think it's one of their best covers, but still pretty nice. Anyone head it yet btw?

That koi pond is amazing, what are they like?
Fiona apple cover is kind of amazing in that it looks like something that should be coming out on limited edition cassette not a major label

I haven't listened to koi pond, so I don't know really. Just saw it on a leak blog.

fiona apple would be good w/o the text at the bottom ruining it

If you click on the album art, a box will pop up with streaming samples. Sounds cool.

I like the Vestals. The Cat Power doesn't do anything for me though.

my wowza was at her haircut rather than the cover.

Seems wierd that once upon a time I loved most of their artwork, then from Starwberry Jam onwards they have just embraced such godawful clumsy garishness.

yeah gr808 is otm maybe that sort of erm... aesthetic is what they were going for. I've no idea what to say about that Cat Power cover. Is everyone become chillwave / seapunk now?

White Suns is a) gorgeous, b) now something I need to check out (the Dusted review describes it in terms of a pigfuck revival, I WANT) and c) reminds me of the upcoming John Maus comp:
