that toro y moi cover is revolting -- you can see the sweat glistening on the skin in between the sparse mustache hairs wtf!

this is both kind of otm and also a godsend - tons of record covers have been ruined by it (i'm too hungover to think of examples)

if there is a King Kenny, apparently he is huge into slapstick. (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 3 February 2011 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link

yep, last year's Swans album was devoid of front cover lettering and looked all the better for it.

This is from 2005 but I'm posting it just to put the typography complaints in perspective

Like this one because I want to know what's on the other side of the sand dune:

More sand.

Tuomas, Friday, 11 February 2011 13:48 (thirteen years ago) link

Sorry about ruining the cover for you.

Tuomas, Friday, 11 February 2011 13:49 (thirteen years ago) link

fucking... seriously?

Goin' for that kind of The Bobs/Korgis vibe. I like it!

Morcheeba, simply happening. (PaulTMA), Friday, 11 February 2011 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link

lol... *rubs eyes*

La descente infernale (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 11 February 2011 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link

That is fantastic, love it!

one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 11 February 2011 15:36 (thirteen years ago) link

I know this is pretty basic, but I don't think I could possibly love it more than I do now (until I hear it, anyway)

Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 February 2011 13:11 (thirteen years ago) link

would have prefered Rome without all the black text.

The supplemental type really makes it feel like a soundtrack album from 1969, though.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 February 2011 13:31 (thirteen years ago) link

That's a nice cover, reminds me of another soundtrack album:

abcfsk, Monday, 14 February 2011 21:31 (thirteen years ago) link

omfg that last one, please say it's at least an unofficial mixtape rather than sanctioned artwork for a proper album

lex pretend, Monday, 14 February 2011 21:53 (thirteen years ago) link

what is that baby about?!

ughhhh that fucking guy.

lex pretend, Monday, 14 February 2011 21:54 (thirteen years ago) link

Should've named it G.T.F.O. of the World. Because he should.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 February 2011 21:57 (thirteen years ago) link

'F.A.M.E' , like there's anything less appealing than a Chris Brown concept album about the perils of life as a celebrity. "FORGIVING ALL MY ENEMIES"

abcfsk, Monday, 14 February 2011 21:57 (thirteen years ago) link

The only thing missing from that art is a big pacifier in his mouth, the big fucking pouty baby.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 February 2011 21:59 (thirteen years ago) link

he's going for the deviantart massive

such a mean facial expression is surely unwise tho

the cover of his recent single was pretty wtf in a different way

Haven't heard this, but I really like the cover

never even knowingly heard this guy but his whole aesthetic makes me want to hit things

Jari Litmandem (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 09:56 (thirteen years ago) link

Makes me think of Bakesale.

Toilet Is My Friend

Morcheeba, simply happening. (PaulTMA), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 11:12 (thirteen years ago) link

That Dimlite one looks a little like 'The Punch Line'

philippe is standing on it (MaresNest), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 11:20 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, that or Meat Puppets II.
