Did they ever release anything after Black Lives? I didn't like that one at all.

van smack, Thursday, 16 June 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

no i think they went on hiatus after that. i got to see aaron north play with nine inch nails in 07 or 08 and he was awesome.

The bottom one is like the junior boys record.

If you look at a small image of the junior boys cover, it looks like someone bending over.

owenf, Friday, 17 June 2011 19:54 (twelve years ago) link

oof that's disappointing.

Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Friday, 17 June 2011 19:56 (twelve years ago) link

re: Icarus Line. I saw them play in TO last year in front of about a dozen people in a medium-sized venue. Very awkward, and they didn't play any of Penance Soiree.

re junior boys cover - it's easier to notice in this one:

gr8080, Tuesday, 21 June 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link

slice and soda album is incredible, love that. dig the jamie xx 12", too.

dislike the wild flag and peaking lights jobs. shame, cuz the peaking lights album is a recent favorite, music-wise.

And the piano, it sounds like a carnivore (contenderizer), Tuesday, 21 June 2011 21:19 (twelve years ago) link

Not exactly new (or original), but I have a weakness for this kind of design:

Coma Cinema - Blue Suicide.....really brilliant album actually. Anyone else heard it?

killer album, as well.

Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 23 June 2011 13:41 (twelve years ago) link

It's not witch house I hope? Like the cover.

...wow! (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 23 June 2011 14:06 (twelve years ago) link

Nope. Kind of like Zola Jesus, but more electronic and less melodic.
