Yeah, I love a good typography cover. Someone let them know that's not one.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 30 March 2012 04:55 (twelve years ago) link

wow that pink/moore cover is quite bold

akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Friday, 30 March 2012 05:36 (twelve years ago) link

When you uninvert the colours in that Ariel Pink cover, it actually looks pretty cool (except for the Yin Wang thing):

NSFW, obviously

Why couldn't they have just used the original instead of the arty inverted one?

TALiB KWELi SODMG (The Reverend), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 05:36 (twelve years ago) link

that is p amazing actually

the album sounded ok while they were reviewing it on npr but it also sorta reeked of black keys

akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 05:57 (twelve years ago) link

Just the fact that he's even approaching being aggressive in any way again is refreshing. He's been dishing out meaningless jingles for decades.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 15:18 (twelve years ago) link

this kinda thing is total catnip to me, stolen from the punk thread:

Not a big fan of Cold War Kids, but I love this style of cover (note to The Walkmen: typography based covers done right can look really good!)

the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link

reminds me a bit too strongly of vivian girls though.

I do not like these past three covers, band names or titles.

Oxnard Cohen (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 7 April 2012 06:12 (twelve years ago) link

it hugs back have done some lovely sleeves, but that is not one of their lovely ones.

Slava - Soft Control

Can't remember if I posted that already. Yet another hands-only cover, kind of fascinated by the moisture content of this one though.

Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Saturday, 7 April 2012 18:55 (twelve years ago) link

for some reason that gives me the creeps.

Yeah, that hand looks like something they found in the fish counter at Sainsbury's.

Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Saturday, 7 April 2012 20:29 (twelve years ago) link

it must be some kind of oil with water on top to give that droplet effect, no? very weird

scumulator (electricsound), Sunday, 8 April 2012 04:40 (twelve years ago) link

Like the Mirroring cover, too. Cover connection with the Flights of Fancy one!
