the digitally dicked with version posted above, otoh, is hideous. and i dunno, i feel like i have at this point seen enough manga-style japanese art depicting cleverly butchered schoolgirls to last me a fucking lifetime.

interesting note: first pressing of 500 sold out. 250 more currently being pressed. pressing denoted by 1st in rougher matt sleeve, 2nd in glossy sleeve…

yeah, just do not understand. something good might have come of the basic image, i guess? if the background were a different color maybe, and if the text played up the garish WTF-ness. i mean, i'm reaching, perhaps because i like the gossip & beth, but i don't see how those elements could be combined in a less successful fashion.

do love sigh – in somniphobia. much better "painted cover" than either high on fire (their worst yet? at least tied w snakes) or day trader.

Beth Ditto's hand is strangely fascinating to me but everything else on that cover is a complete howler

Definitely their worst album cover, though their cover art been heading downhill since "Blessed Black Wings."

you do wonder wtf artists see when someone presents an idea like that ditto cover.
its like they just dont see it the same as the rest of us eg. the last lady gaga album cover ..

I'm finding that Mad Men pic to be incredibly haunting. Any context there? I know it's off-topic/mistake, but seriously I need answers.

i dunno where that mad men pic came from originally. random promo image, i suppose? agree w MFB that it's haunting, very well composed and lit, but yeah, the one tiny hand concept kind of creeps me out.

― Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
it's linked from pfork, not sure if the gif properties reflect something that the actual cover will do or if they're just animating it for shits'n'giggles
