album is so-so college rock but ^this is cracking me up

lol at the one guy laughing while everyone else is shocked

That cover looks like it was drawn by Al Jaffee.

hahaha http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

I was gonna say! Always kind of comforting to see that kinda style pop up again.

Lilacs and Champagne- s/t

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/img/music2/giffoni_evidence.jpg

That's nothing fancy at all, but it's just perfect.

yes, it's really nice

bugs me that giffoni isn't on the same line as the rest of the text.

love that last one

has he dropped the 'big'?

Return of 4Eva just had KRIT on the front too so i don't think so

feelin' this

Chances of that cover being better than the music within? Pretty solid. I like the cover though.

i really like this cover

[the album also features diane birch on additional vocals]

It'd be better without the "Phenomenal Handclap Band" text.

(I know next to nothing about the band, the name just makes me irrationally angry)

you see i was thinking it would be better without the 'form & control' text !

and like you i knew nothing re the band until it dropped through the letter box today

I like both lines of text AND I like this band. So there.

I've never really heard any of their albums, but I remember KEXP playing a song of theirs I really liked.

neener neener.

(I like both band and text and cover, too)

One of the guys on npr's all songs considered who isn't bob boelin was talking them up quite a bit a few years back. Don't remember what they actually sounded like, but maaan do I hate that name.

A+

God, that last one sucks.

i like it, it's interesting.

the Rhine Gold one is really brilliant though.

is that paz?

Love the Rhine Gold and have decided that I also really like the Phenomenal Handclap Band one, at least the title type. But I can't picture that one existing as anything other than a vaguely musty smelling LP.

Buildings feels like it's trying too hard, or at least having the title on the oranges pushed it that way for me.

the last krit album cover was awesome too

Buildings whatever that is is the worst thing itt so far by about 50000000 miles

terrible.

yeah the handclap band cover just bothers me, its too blatantly trying to be a "all things must pass" or "houses of the holy." good at the aesthetic it's trying to represent but too much instagram's p much ruined that for me

yeah i stumbled upon that one kind of randomly (while searching for a completely different band called Buildings) and was like UGH HOLY SHIT

yeah, i'm real glad that's not the dc band buildings

The Phenomenal Handclap Band is dope as fuck

is his hand super high res with some sort of blur/contrast effect on the rest? feel like my brains getting messed with here

Someone basically was tweaking with the 'shadows/highlights' feature in photoshop.
