the Kiddycar cover is a crop of a Gottfried Helnwein painting.

tbh it kind of looks like an ad, but I'm so excited to hear this album that I'm giving it some leeway.

I said it before but this has been honestly one of the laziest years I've seen in album artwork.
Artists like the Strokes, Phoenix, The Knife, Bowie, My Bloody Valentine, Justin Timberlake... they've been working what? like 5+ years on their albums and they had less than a day to create an actual cover? If they don't care enough I don't see why should I.
― Moka, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 05:17 (eleven years ago) link
I guess in the case of The Knife I'll let it pass because the singles and videos have been at least cohesive in their aesthetic laziness.
― Moka, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 05:20 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah seeing MBV vinyl in a store for $45, I took a real close look at the cover art to see if I was missing something in only seeing it as a JPG on my computer screen and no I wasn't. It really does look like the background on a poor 2003 MBV Myspace fansite. It was like the album was daring me to buy it and it lost, horribly. And of course the new Bowie LP sitting next to it turned the whole situation into a farce. Truly our greatest artists are pushing the envelope of not giving a shit, at least that's how it appears.
Strokes one sort of makes me think of whenever you see a website that is a bunch of movies done in the style of Penguin Book covers or something. Cool, you can make something that looks like it's old. Good job, dude.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 05:43 (eleven years ago) link
The MBV is particularly offensive considering the 22 year span between this one and Loveless.

That said, here's some artwork from this year which I wouldn't displaying in my collection. From the looks of it, I really naked ladies and horses.

Listening to the La Femme one now on the basis of its cover. Sounding very nice this sunny morning.

i like that one. reminds me of the palette tool on MS paint and other programs. that was always sort of magical to me as a kid, as there was an infinity of subtleties between two visibly identical shades. good evocation, Sunbathers.
― Treeship, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 03:37 (eleven years ago) link
OTOH, not a welcome gradient on the skin of a sunbather.

re Sunbather I like to think of it as the color of sunlight through closed eyelids
― anonanon, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 04:06 (eleven years ago) link
That's nice, anonanon. Your association with eyelids staring at the sun has made me like this cover.
― Moka, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 05:16 (eleven years ago) link
sweet. the dissolving text is a nice touch and apropos too. and all this for a black metal album
