a bit too obvious "liquify" effect in photoshop, but wow if that isn't a striking cover

i always love seeing that font

meat o.d. (electricsound), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link

wooden shjips one is making me feel oddly weepy and im not sure why.

Darren Huckerby (Dwight Yorke), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:25 (twelve years ago) link

young magic is nice. get a ho-hum, treading-water feeling off wooden shjips and that cadillac one upthread. agree about the font though.

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:28 (twelve years ago) link

i know wooden shjips isn't chillwave but that cover reads very generic chillwave to me

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:28 (twelve years ago) link

Wooden Shjips one is perfect, especially playing off the artwork for the parent album, but I also sort of feel like it should be a Trans Am album with that font. Or like Trans Am should have used that Wooden Shjips font for this one:

That looks the special fx always used in tv and movies when someone's about to enter a wormhole.

*drool*

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 00:43 (twelve years ago) link

does look v nice, though i am trying v hard not to be tempted into buying a vinyl copy of a record i expect to be lukewarm on

meat o.d. (electricsound), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 00:44 (twelve years ago) link

The three tracks on soundcloud from this album so far are light years ahead of the album from a couple years back with "The Outs".

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 00:45 (twelve years ago) link

good good

meat o.d. (electricsound), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 00:46 (twelve years ago) link

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 February 2012 19:58 (twelve years ago) link

HO WBEAUTIFUL IS THE GENTLYFALLINGBLOOD? (Le Bateau Ivre), Saturday, 18 February 2012 14:15 (twelve years ago) link

http://malleusdelic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/ufomammut_oro.jpg%3Fw%3D450%26h%3D450

I'm a big fan of the work by Malleus collective, but I prefer their tour posters, which are not as subdued as the more tasteful albums, heh.

I voted for this one in this week's Cover Art Battle.

It's currently runner-up to this. The B&W makes it seem incomplete to me.

Fastnbulbous, Saturday, 18 February 2012 15:13 (twelve years ago) link

so not good. this thread is baffling to me. last good album cover = that young magic thing that johnny posted.

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 19 February 2012 07:57 (twelve years ago) link

appreciate chantal morte and ufomammut as drawings, like in terms of technique and execution, but that's about it.

i dunno, maybe i'm being too squeamish abt the chantal morte art... it's certainly striking and memorable.

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:00 (twelve years ago) link

I like it. You see all these kinda random things but might miss that Ka is lurking behind them, masked up and watching your every move.

Also, I think you misunderstand the point of this thread.

The Reverend, Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:34 (twelve years ago) link

the point is i comment on things ppl post, no

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:35 (twelve years ago) link

I like that Ka cover
