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.

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?

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

I like that.

Album's not especially amazing, though

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:

whoops

http://cdn.nahright.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Wiz-Khalifa-Rolling-Papers.png

design/concept is cool but the photo looks absolutely nothing like wiz, and he has a pretty distinctive face

pop the s1ock (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 27 February 2011 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link

also not his distinctive glasses! and also calling yr record "rolling papers" a year after the now getting famous domo genesis = nagl.

Samuel (a hoy hoy), Sunday, 27 February 2011 10:55 (thirteen years ago) link

I like the font they used for his name, even if it's a little Disneyish.

I just threw some kazoo on this bitch (Whitey on the Moon), Monday, 28 February 2011 21:03 (thirteen years ago) link

that's offensive as fuck

jumpskins, Monday, 28 February 2011 22:52 (thirteen years ago) link

Elbow are the sort of band you could slip into a coma from merely thinking about

Morcheeba, simply happening. (PaulTMA), Monday, 28 February 2011 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link

I lol'd.

Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Tuesday, 1 March 2011 01:41 (thirteen years ago) link

maybe it's b/c those clash with my indie sensibilities (abstract, aged photo: no text) but the two above i rly see little to get excited for. they're just slightly above generic to me. i'm almost gonna daresay that any kanye artwork beats those. (just did)

kelpolaris, Tuesday, 1 March 2011 02:23 (thirteen years ago) link

I like the Wiz one, shrug at the Young L one (though the besparkled Domo-Kun is a nice touch).

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 March 2011 02:32 (thirteen years ago) link

lol at panda bear's single on kompakt
