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.

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 Reverend, Sunday, 19 February 2012 08:53 (twelve years ago) link
good point
in that case, that Sot7B cover is endlessly noteworthy and should be reposted as often as possible
― Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 19 February 2012 09:00 (twelve years ago) link
yeah this thread became the rolling cover thread, as opposed to 'best of the year'/'worst of the year' getting muddled in previous times.

not crazy about the band name look/placement but the rest of it is v. nice. the album is fantastic also.

That drawing is quite Savage Pencil-ish imo, but not as acid-damaged and melty.
― Feebs K-Tel (NickB), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
The first thing I thought when I saw that Grimes cover was "Headache EP"!

Am I the only one who at first thought the Spiritiualized pic was some kind of a "no hotlinking" image?

Pretty cool, though I think that particular way of typing the artist and album name has been done to death in electronic music.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 10:20 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, that whole cover could be something straight out of the Touch Music catalogue
