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

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

Vestals - Forever Falling Toward The Sky

Zaireeka Badu (NickB), Monday, 18 June 2012 16:24 (thirteen years ago)

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

EZ Snappin, Monday, 18 June 2012 16:26 (thirteen years ago)

my wowza was at her haircut rather than the cover.

jed_, Monday, 18 June 2012 16:47 (thirteen years ago)

I like the haircut.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 18 June 2012 16:49 (thirteen years ago)

she looks adorbable. crappy cover though.

"Forever Falling Toward The Sky" sounds like some 2002 shit to me

^^deserves all the hate an Animal Collective album cover will eventually get

een, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 05:59 (thirteen years ago)

well, it's an album cover for 2012 we might have expected once upon a time

white suns "sinews"
my favorite album of the year, so far.

BringTheAuBonPain, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 06:56 (thirteen years ago)

that animal collective cover is just... yuck.

BringTheAuBonPain, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 07:00 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, that is hugely offputting ugliness.

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.

weird even

getting trypophobia vibes from that last one.

Looks like a Polish movie poster for Prometheus.

Yikes

Intrigued by White Suns cover: what sort of music is it?

The Flaming Lips & Heady Fwends - horrible idiotic album title but I quite like the cover

Camel toe night light.

Gotye Sports (It's In The Name) (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 21 June 2012 22:18 (thirteen years ago)

the flaming lips one is intrstng

jed_, Thursday, 21 June 2012 22:27 (thirteen years ago)

new AnCo reminds me of The Bends and Zooropa

♆ (gr8080), Thursday, 21 June 2012 23:04 (thirteen years ago)

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?

― gonna send him to outer space, to hug another face (NickB)

MPP is one of their best album covers, tho.

Moka, Thursday, 21 June 2012 23:17 (thirteen years ago)

For two minutes, then the novelty wears off and is henceforth just a headache inducer.

Is there a thread for album covers + optical illusions? I can't think of that many. There's MPP, Santana's s/t, Soulwax

great

jed_, Friday, 22 June 2012 00:18 (thirteen years ago)

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:

and something else I can't put my finger on at the moment...

Mainly this, for me

Cracking stuff on those Sonnymoon sleeves

Can I just say that this thread has convinced me that, yep, I hate optical illusion cover art?

If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Sunday, 24 June 2012 14:14 (thirteen years ago)

kinda bothers me that the stem doesn't go between letters
