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.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 May 2011 02:19 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean the cover, i also have no idea who they are
― J0rdan S., Monday, 9 May 2011 02:20 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 May 2011 02:21 (thirteen years ago) link
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.)

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

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.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 May 2011 07:29 (thirteen years ago) link
^ 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.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 May 2011 07:44 (thirteen years ago) link
o no the sahara hotnights is grebt
although i wish there was a more evident hint of menace in it
― mookieproof, Monday, 9 May 2011 07:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Maybe when you open the gatefold there's a goblin on the wing.

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
― gr8080, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 07:55 (thirteen years ago) link
the sahara hotnights cover is amazing. i'm also amazed that they're still going. almost makes me want to hear the album but surely it can't be any good.
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 07:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Whoops, sorry, the cover I posted is for Realism by Shine 2009 (what a stupid band name, even if it's deliberately stupid).
