sahara hot nights is awesome

Since I don't know who they are, I'm going to assume they're nomadic Icelanders who were captured on tape by a documentary crew and are now being exploited by a joint venture of National Geographic and Hot Topic.

i mean the cover, i also have no idea who they are

xp to nakh's cover

Sahara Hotnights are actually a Swedish all-girl group who came around the same time as The Hives and used to sound a lot like The Runaways, but are totally refined and excellent now.

That's the D'Eon / Grimes split LP cover, which is an annoying picture of two pretty bad musicians

That's some Sergio Mendes/Herb Alpert style done right.

(Don't listen to this band unless you want a sugar headache, though.)

cuet, but trying so hard that the music needs to measure up

Can't get over that Sahara Hotnights; it's so cynical but I still wish like crazy I was on that plane.

Has a Blancmange meets Supertramp vibe.
plus some Kraftwerk

I agree with these things re: Sahara Hotnights. I really miss painted cover art. Everything now is just splatters and doodles OR created to look like paintings in Illustrator and Photoshop. I probably won't buy it on vinyl because I don't have a turntable, but I really hope the LP release is gatefold and on heavy stock.

^ I realize that sounds all "you darned kids!" but I'm kind of sick of covers that just look like photos from flickr or a few brushstrokes on a block of wood.

o no the sahara hotnights is grebt

although i wish there was a more evident hint of menace in it

Maybe when you open the gatefold there's a goblin on the wing.

Definitely something going on under that blanket imo.

cool with this, needs more triangles tho

eurgh it just looks like fat flaps

Galactic Melt reminds me of an upside down Unknown Pleasures that someone painted and put stickers on.

The Bodies of Water cover is beautiful, moving even.

This looked cool to me at first, but on further thought it's pretty bland. Kinda like the band.

IT SHOULD REALLY GO WITHOUT SAYING THAT IF A PIECE OF ALBUM ART DOES NOT INCORPORATE THE ARTIST AND ALBUM'S NAME, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY POST THAT ALONG WITH THE IMAGE

JUST SAYING
