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.

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.

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?
