I don't hate it.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 25 April 2011 05:56 (thirteen years ago) link

i think i love it

kelpolaris, Monday, 25 April 2011 06:30 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh MY.

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

mizzell, Monday, 25 April 2011 13:43 (thirteen years ago) link

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

You're fucking fired and you know jack shit about horses (James Morrison), Wednesday, 27 April 2011 03:15 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

'what are you, the Hymen Protection League of America?' (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 27 April 2011 03:26 (thirteen years ago) link

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

it reminds me of something else that i love i can't quite put my finger on

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

total blah

kelpolaris, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 18:53 (thirteen years ago) link

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."

kelpolaris, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 18:55 (thirteen years ago) link

I see vaginas in everything though

owenf, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 20:08 (thirteen years ago) link

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

it is his "enigmatic signifier" (the table is the table), Wednesday, 27 April 2011 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

RIP to Left Eye but Gucci's necklace is (chilli), Wednesday, 27 April 2011 22:05 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Hippocratic Oaf (DavidM), Wednesday, 27 April 2011 22:25 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

emil.y, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 22:36 (thirteen years ago) link

black ken is like 2 years old

It never actually came out tho did it?

Number None, Thursday, 28 April 2011 11:54 (thirteen years ago) link

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?

dope

banjee trillness (The Reverend), Sunday, 1 May 2011 19:44 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Telemachus Sneezed (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 2 May 2011 02:12 (thirteen years ago) link

peep the video rev posted in gun sounds yesterday o_O

gr8080, Monday, 2 May 2011 02:47 (thirteen years ago) link

or is that not the same dude?

gr8080, Monday, 2 May 2011 02:48 (thirteen years ago) link

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

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

RIP to Left Eye but Gucci's necklace is (chilli), Monday, 2 May 2011 04:07 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Spaceghostpurrp sounds like this:

chillwave rap

Was Hed (PE) Out

I don't like.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 2 May 2011 16:27 (thirteen years ago) link

looks like they swiped it from one of those hipster-porn tumblrs

rockapads, Monday, 2 May 2011 16:40 (thirteen years ago) link

The Hed (PE) Out is pretty. But maybe I'm just a hipster.

jer.fairall, Monday, 2 May 2011 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link

Is that what happened to the Vampire Weekend Contra cover after a few drinks?

Johnny Fever, Monday, 2 May 2011 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link

I simultaneously love & despise it. It hurts me to decide which it is.

VegemiteGrrl, Monday, 2 May 2011 22:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Is it possible for something to be fraught with boring?

Telemachus Sneezed (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 04:57 (thirteen years ago) link

i love that

gr8080, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 06:34 (thirteen years ago) link
