One of them, yeah- on comparison it looks they did some minor touch-ups (flames in both eye sockets instead of a red laser dot in one, removed the cityscape background, degraded the image a little). I just thought it was a fun reference/appropriation/whatever.
...and here I was going to mention that seeing a track titled "3Jane" on the upcoming EMA album had me wishing for a late 80's/early 90's cyberpunk revival, only now it looks like the track's been retitled "Neuromancer." Subtle!

lion lady = the cover art for Single's Rea, painted by their labelmate Javier Aramburu from the band Family. the rough American equivalent would be Devendra Banhart painting Joanna Newsom's face on a wolf's body, whereupon Joanna gushed about how "it's so empowering!" and "wolf is my spirit animal!"
it's very much a corny indie gesture, but I like it

There's an album cover I've been looking around for on these threads and other album cover lists but I can't find it. It's from sometime in the past two years. A close-up of a guy's head with his mouth open, covered in shiny paints of different colours.
