ARU, OPN and ricarda comet are ace (learned from circa1916 in the OPN thread that the new album cover is a still from this fucking incredible short film). otherwise:

idg half 9/10ths of what's in this thread.

XP - Hey Emily, yep well spotted Chris is the man. And yes, Nowherians is me.

The EP is sort-of based around the Nakagin Capsule Tower, - as much as instrumental music can be based around anything - I've been obsessing over that building ever since reading a book on Tokyo architecture. Gonna see it for reals next year.

okay, jf, what the hell is that "ARU" album??? i imagine that's the band name, but have had no luck tracking them down. dying to know more...

Oh, MaresNest, that sounds really cool! Hope I didn't seem dismissive above, I think it's cool, particularly with the rendering of the wear-and-tear, nice contrast to the idealized way it's usually represented.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 4 July 2013 20:12 (twelve years ago)

Not at all Dr C :) I know it looks a bit like YHF, that's cool.

MaresNest, Thursday, 4 July 2013 20:30 (twelve years ago)

thanks johnny. i found it, too, right after that last post. figured it'd be soothing new age psych, but instead it seems to be vaguely disturbing electronic noise. p cool though.

Me and my pool noodle (contenderizer), Thursday, 4 July 2013 20:56 (twelve years ago)

Yeah, its advertised release date has come and gone, but it's still listed as a pre-order. I don't know what the deal is, but the one streamable track is kinda cool.

New Daughn Gibson has someone's bare bottom on the cover so I'll just post the link, but it is an intriguing picture:

^ new Dave Matthews Band cover, and if Robert Crumb isn't getting paid off for that, that is a huge scandal.

Original Crumb cartoon (also NSFW - contains dongage):

That DMB cover is from sometime last year.

^^ though it does have a polyphonic spree vs slipknot look about it ..

That DMB cover is from sometime last year.

Oh it is, isn't it? My mistake. It's only getting a UK release this week, such was the rabid demand for DMB over here (I've still never heard him btw).

Ralph Vogon Williams (NickB), Monday, 8 July 2013 17:25 (twelve years ago)

Nah, its okay, I just remembered stumbling on it last summer and having similar thoughts about the Crumb-iness of the cover.

JACK SQUAT about these Charlie Nobodies (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 8 July 2013 17:28 (twelve years ago)

I remember seeing commercials for it on tv, and the figures were moving around inside the compartments.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 8 July 2013 17:29 (twelve years ago)

To some fly DMB jam, no doubt.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 8 July 2013 17:29 (twelve years ago)

I envy NickB.

First off, HELL YES! A new Ebony Bones record. But secondly, this art is so great.

wombspace (abanana), Wednesday, 10 July 2013 06:18 (twelve years ago)

A bit much going on there, but I'm game for a David Černý homage.

Ah, that concept seemed slightly familiar.

I like the moby, FotL *and* Ebony Bones covers.

I hope the clean, magazine-ad style cover art goes out soon.

Evan, Thursday, 11 July 2013 15:02 (twelve years ago)

That looks like Priest's Stained Class and Killing Machine/Hellbent For Leather had a baby.

EZ Snappin, Thursday, 11 July 2013 15:19 (twelve years ago)

Those pastel lines are so unneeded, the image is strong enough to stand on its own.
