Like that it hints at being retro without being a complete retro-pastiche.

DUM DUM GIRLS one is fantastic

Wow, I never realized that about the Judas cover, but now that I can see her slight reflection in it I like it a lot more (still think the song is bad).

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 16:29 (twelve years ago) link

Impact tho? Impact?

Font of the last one instantly made me go 'Chemical Brothers', even before I read it wasn't them

Bugging me about Dum Dum Girls cover: small piece of leg in the "T" in "GETS" means that on a cursory glance, the record appears to be titled HE GET'S ME HIGH

That's like an Arcadian analogue to the last Efterklang:

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

Not a fan of the Coathangers cover, but the 7" (done by the same artist, Jason Travis) is way better:

Carnivores "German Flower" single

Carnivores one designed by drummer Ross Politi, who has awesome graphic design skills.

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 28 May 2011 15:46 (twelve years ago) link

Er....oops, that the "Chandalier" one. Don't know if he did that, but probably...

That Sweater Weather cover reminds me of the Implodes one upthread... sans saturation plus laughably hip fading.

brodieopolari.... oh fuck it (kelpolaris), Saturday, 28 May 2011 16:18 (twelve years ago) link

Not enough pheasants on album sleeves imo.

Cluster the boots (Billy Dods), Saturday, 4 June 2011 15:12 (twelve years ago) link

I think I like that

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 4 June 2011 16:51 (twelve years ago) link

I know the image is big, but it doesn't read very well at a smaller size. If you check out an even larger picture (like here, for instance) you get to see the awesomely cheesy details.

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 4 June 2011 17:06 (twelve years ago) link

lmao that opeth one has to be fake

gr8080, Saturday, 4 June 2011 21:10 (twelve years ago) link
