my dreams in the hell-pits (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 6 April 2018 07:50 (six years ago) link

Don't know how noteworthy this one is, but it's kind of intriguing and made me want to hear the album:

OK so possibly the most !! thing about this is that the record inside this sleeve exists, however I am digging the 70s budget album vibe of the cover.

By contrast, this one just screams "I licensed my back catalogue to a budget label that sells its wares only in motorway service stations". Poor show, Kylie.

Cover connections: feels like the dude that did that ADT album has been gifted some Michael DeForge back issues since he last updated his own website

maybe the artwork/title are meta-commentary idk

Pardew to Megson: "you've stolen my New Orleans bounce" (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 1 May 2018 08:19 (five years ago) link

That's definite "is this intentional?" territory

my dreams in the hell-pits (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 4 May 2018 06:47 (five years ago) link

This I like:
Stimulator Jones - Exotic Worlds and Masterful Treasures
https://d1wtzzt4oxg683.cloudfront.net/images/covers/large/140/170390.jpg

Cover of new Arctic Monkeys is also great.

Jeff W, Sunday, 6 May 2018 12:12 (five years ago) link

holy shit! i didn't realize stimulator jones actually took off. i heard he was talking to stones throw awhile back but could never confirm. that album cover looks like it was done by daniel cundiff who does the eternal summers and young sinclairs album art

dynamicinterface, Sunday, 6 May 2018 13:09 (five years ago) link

Stimulator Jones album is as dope as its cover btw

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 6 May 2018 13:17 (five years ago) link

Christ! That Shriekback cover is terrible.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 6 May 2018 13:20 (five years ago) link

I have pretty low expectations for the music too tbh

That is not Googling or GISing well, what is it? I like the cover. And the La Luz too (actually checked it out and ordered the CD!).

What was the one with the dog sat at a piano and a picture of a mushroom cloud behind it that kept showing up on Bandcamp 'featured' a few weeks ago. That one.

any info on who shot those?

niels, Sunday, 4 November 2018 12:02 (five years ago) link

The Amerie covers? They’re credited to “Mr Nicholson/Feenix Rising Ent.” (here’s another from the same session: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8480485/amerie-surprise-double-album-exclusive-interview).

That’s the name of her label/management (her husband is Lenny Nicholson, a former record exec)... so, in short, no info on the actual photographer.

(I would also like to add, as I’ve mentioned in Rolling R&B, that these two EPs are terrifically great!!)

too busy or too stoned (morrisp), Sunday, 4 November 2018 16:03 (five years ago) link

cool, thanks

will check them out!
