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?

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.

MPP is one of their best album covers, tho.

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

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:

― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:18 (thirteen years ago)
if ohno had just put the doom character of the graf as a central factor then i'd love it more, as it is, the end result, is very ukhh 2005.
then again that could be the intention.
oh, and that ty cover = animal collective styled crap.
no amount of persusion will convince me otherwise ..
― mark e, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:32 (thirteen years ago)
ukhh?animal collective styled crap?
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:36 (thirteen years ago)
ohno = generic ukhh cover from a different decade (no real evidence of this other than HHC mixtapes .. )
ty = more shyte a la animal collection
no real visual connection, other than a lack of style/imagination.
― mark e, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:42 (thirteen years ago)
Ha, still no clue what you're talking about but I'll take your word for it.
I think that Ty Segall illustration is pretty striking.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:51 (thirteen years ago)
ukhh = uk hip hophhc = hip hop connection, a cult british rap rag that closed down about 5 years ago and was way better than source/xxl/fader/other. also used to have a monthly covermount cd often w/ generic graf/cartoon type covers.
problem with ohno cover is that doom is the only recognisable cartoon, the rest are hard to pick out

― mark e, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 23:26 (thirteen years ago)
I can't make any connection between Animal Collective and the Ty Segall cover at all.
― She Got the Shakes, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 23:30 (thirteen years ago)
I can. It's part of the new trend of willful ugliness for the sake of it.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 23:32 (thirteen years ago)
also ukhh p much died with hip hop connection, as far as i can tell. lots of the dudes seemed to drift into this lame kinda-electro/kinda-dubsteppy poprap thing since but its not the same, even if dudes are finally earning. its a shame tho, so much of my teenage years was spent on buses reading about some white dude in nottingham, listening to early 1xtra mixtapes with talented guys freestyles who you never heard of again.

that flaming lips and heady fwends cover posted above is the vinyl cover from record store day. the cd that came out today has a terribly cheap looking picture of kesha rubbing wayne coyne's feet.

anim coll covers always bright, colorful, often photos, often digitally manipulated; ty segall cover is black and white drawing - great comparison
