Noteworthy album covers of 2020

That Jerry Paper album cover really could've been content with the Hee Haw font, the barbershop quartet shirt, and that awkward crouch. I'm not sure the snail eyes were even strictly necessary.

it's really more of a beach boys shirt, barbershop quartets tend to wear red striped vests

i like looking at the Deep Purple cover more than i'd like the album i'm pretty sure

also the band name/font and cover have a very desert/stoner vibe.

Lol at dissing Basquiat, one of the most important and influential figures in modern art, via the Strokes album upthread.

The actual cover is different than the one posted though, that one seems like a digital reproduction.

Btw, Basquiat himself did design the cover for Rammellzee’s Beat Bop

bloke from hiatus kaiyote

parody of dated aesthetic feels v dated itself now as does the unbearable self aware irony of it all

excerpts I heard on bandcamp are as horrible as could be expected

Weird that the title doesn't show up. It was my feeble attempt at a 'Rolling Abominable [Current Year] Album Covers' thread.

at least 1/3 of this thread could go in there tbh

Noteworthy album covers of 2011

― brimstead, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 22:23 (five years ago)

I mean I'd throw the Jerry Paper cover in the other thread, but yeah I figured "noteworthy" meant just that, and not as a judgement of quality.

― octobeard, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 22:40 (five years ago)

Fair enough. I tend to parse it as a positive adjective but it doesn't have to be, it's true.

Nice.

― pomenitul, Friday, 11 September 2020 18:02 (five years ago)

That's a great cover. Is it the first glimpse of the Large Sad Man without his cowl? (I'm assuming by that name/title combo it's funeral doom?)

― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Friday, 11 September 2020 18:05 (five years ago)

indie-shoegaze with a tiny sprinkle of doom iirc
