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)

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:

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

الله basedأكبر (forksclovetofu), Monday, 14 February 2011 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

seminal fuiud (NickB), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 10:11 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

seminal fuiud (NickB), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 11:24 (thirteen years ago) link

It's so magnanimous of Chris Brown to forgive all his enemies like that.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 11:28 (thirteen years ago) link

i actually lol'd at the CHRIS BROWN cover.

that kid's taste is pricelessly awful

surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link

circle pattern artwork is the new indie bands with wolf in their name imo

if there is a King Moaty, apparently he is huge into slapstick. (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 22:21 (thirteen years ago) link

So indie albums of the 2010s look like techno albums of the 1990s?

Tuomas, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 08:31 (thirteen years ago) link

Circles are so versatile, though. As long as you're doing something cool with it, I don't mind the ubiquity.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 08:32 (thirteen years ago) link

always want a triangle in the centre, seeing as these things are always contained within a square anyway

idgi fridays (blueski), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 13:52 (thirteen years ago) link

Chaim isn't an indie album fwiw, it's on Bpitch Control xp

Jari Litmandem (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 14:28 (thirteen years ago) link

I've grown a little weary of the 70s new age/fantasy cover art revival, but I have to make an exception here. THAT IS BADASS.

Munch Munch's Double Vision, oddly compelling.

La descente infernale (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 16:17 (thirteen years ago) link

Album's not especially amazing, though

the most cuddlesome bug that ever was borned (James Morrison), Wednesday, 23 February 2011 23:03 (thirteen years ago) link

This came out today, it's the latest album by the Finnish rapper Asa. When I first saw the cover I didn't think it was great, but I'm warming up to it.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 23:08 (thirteen years ago) link

squirrel, mouse and snake. is the other one a mole peeking out of the ground? if so, yes FTW

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 23:13 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, it's a mole. The T-shirt that came with the album even has a hip hop version of the famous Czech mole:
