Noteworthy album covers of 2011

Oh good, it's time for another Damon & Naomi album I'll listen to once, like very much, and then file away never to be listened to again.

Thanks for the link Johnny! Wouldn't have guessed 'Sdneirfbackwards'...

I like the Damon & Naomi cover. Unfortunately it will pretty much go like mr. Fever described up here. Which is so stupid of me because I do really like it, nearly all albums. For some reason they get marginalised in my mind.

from last year, but I love this:

reminds me of the moulton joint

Font reminds me of those cool Star Trek paperbacks

Looks like the cover of a Joe Haldeman book.

he's got a few like that (also from last year):

effing great record, btw

wow I love that one

Pretty Lights covers are so good. Love that pulpy scifi paperback vibe.

It's unfortunate that he's so awful. He's from a local college town here in CO, Fort Collins, and is p much a shining example of frat boy electro.

admittedly his moniker tho stems from his light shows, which i've seen and are pretty neat. on drugs.

his EP is pretty good but the sleeve art is horrible

i think i love it

Oh MY.

i just wish he could emphasize the female dolls' nipples a bit more.

needs to be the cover for "I'm Gay" imo

thanks. I'm going to have to buy some of this shit. Incredible.

Not so much for the xcover itself, but for the execution of the whole package, the new Explosions in the Sky

See I think that Girls Names looks like a hundred other Altered Zones/chillwave covers. That whole aesthetic is just boring for me now, even if it is a pretty photograph.

i like it a lot, it reminds me of something else that i love i can't quite put my finger on. doesn't hurt that the album is really great too

i love this though, although i don't expect anyone else to. i love every cover this band has done

Reminds me of Depeche Mode ca. Violator art, at least in feeling.

black ken is like 2 years old

total blah

but as typing that i know there's at least 5 dudes within a 2mile radius of me that would take one look at that, swallow and stand quietly for a while before declaring, "THIS. IS. ART."

cover connection

I see vaginas in everything though

oh man, Skeletons are bros of mine. like that their shit gets love.

that art museums album is v. nice! agree with the strange familiarity -- kind of a "miami vice" interpretation of abstract/pop art? not sure how to describe it, but they nailed a very specific aesthetic there.

Art Museums reminds me of Tusk, for some reason. Obviously it's like a lot of '80s covers as well.

You know Skeletons, table? I kicked about with Tony a bit when he was over in the UK for a while and saw them play - lovely guys and a great band.

It never actually came out tho did it?

One look at the Skeletons cover and I was all "This Last Night in Sodom by Soft Cell!" -- although... it's not really all that similar?

I don't know anything about what's going on there, but I would buy that album.

peep the video rev posted in gun sounds yesterday o_O

or is that not the same dude?

different dude, i think he was just comparing the two.

but cool cover nonetheless. looks like very early pen & pixel

Different dude, I was just comparing the two. The guy I posted was Blunt Fang.
