Oh man, that Blood Orange cover. I dunno about the typography (nothing wrong with it, just doesn't do anything for me) but that the pink light and offkilter angle make me really, really uncomfortable for some reason. Which is a good thing.

what's the violin cover?

Gabriel Saloman, ex-Yellow Swans guy.

ex-yellow swans guys are killing it these days. is that one any good?

No idea- I just liked the cover, and based on Pete Swanson's recent output figured I should give it a shot when it comes out in (IIRC) a week

EZ brought this one to my attention. *shudder*

catching up: dig the black milk, zoltan, pillar without mercy (hate the text design tho), tropic of cancer, saltine, pusha (great!)

drake, neko case, danny brown, audrey o'day & the weeknd are abysmal. how does that even happen?

p.s. also love the castles, fuzz (great album too!), black lizard, cosmic machine comp, gabriel soloman and black devil covers. good shit. doomriders is nice, but not a patch on darkness come alive.

baizley's too easy, but

metal bands have the best graphics.

oh man does that parkay quarts cover makes me want to avoid listening to it.

and frequently the worst too xp

*make

here's the new axel boman record. why is gauche 3d cover art hip this year? everything old is new again and that's great but... it's also fugly. the music on this record's actually pretty good...

and frequently the worst too xp

haha, good point. =)

like the parkay quarts! looks exactly like they sound.

somewhere between early fall and early pavement then?

When I interviewed them they stressed how much they hate being compared to both those bands lol

Great job of asserting some aesthetic distance there guys

That's hilarious. We HATE being compared to the two bands who we sound the most like and whose entire visual aesthetic we draw from!

somewhere between early fall and early pavement then?
