From the Temporary Residence website:

Each album is in its own heavy board stock inner sleeve w/ gloss varnish, housed in a custom die-cut matte varnished gatefold jacket featuring the full 12x24-inch cover artwork by world-renowned artist, Pat Perry

No problem, and you are right, just saw that myself!

^^ otm

Seriously? Their label's letting them do that?

lol they got dropped by EMI seven years ago: their next album was released by their management, they self-funded the one after and sold it to Sony in Australia only, and crowdfunded this one despite their current management having an overall deal with Warners.

yea it's great

marcos, Friday, 5 September 2014 13:06 (nine years ago) link

I'd expect a band called Electric Youth to have bad artwork but...wow

nashwan, Friday, 5 September 2014 13:24 (nine years ago) link

xps yeah the YOB is frameable imo, love it

Apparently it was done by Relapse's normal in-house guy, Orion Landau

anonanon, Friday, 5 September 2014 15:03 (nine years ago) link

agreed, it's beautiful

marcos, Friday, 5 September 2014 15:12 (nine years ago) link

i have thought about framing that daniel bachman "orange co. serenade" cover and putting it up somewhere

The 60s/70s retro-horror/Satan/occult thing is fairly well played out, but I guess that's well done. More importantly I checked out their bandcamp and the music's pretty great.

"a bit of goatery, some demonry" (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 8 September 2014 12:40 (nine years ago) link

My thoughts exactly. Fastnbulbous to thread!

I get the feeling I'm the only person excited for this album (or for Julien Ceccaldi) but:

It is terrible, yeah. The shadows are from the cover of his previous album. Dunno what it means.

Never realized until now how many of their post-Waters releases feature a horizon line on the cover.

C'mon, it looks like the cover of a children's bible. Lill babby Jesus rowing o'er the clouds.

Oh my god that Pink Floyd cover.

This Odawas cover... I feel like I've seen more or less this same thing fifty times.
