SUPER not into that cover. Kind of hope it's not the actual cover. The TNT cover is one of my favorite covers ever, weirdly. But no dice with fella there for me

Joshua Abrams- Magnetoception

Noteworthy also because Abrams' instrument is the Moroccan guimbri, and the recordings are urban improvisation/gnaoua.

I love that Abrams cover (his last album was even better). They're fabric works made by Lisa Alvarado, who plays the harmonium on those albums and the band often play with the pieces behind them.

We Lost the Sea - Departure Songs

ArchCarrier, Saturday, 10 October 2015 13:57 (eight years ago) link

nice cover, sadder when you find out it's an instrumental album by a band whose singer killed himself

the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Saturday, 10 October 2015 14:38 (eight years ago) link

The silhouette not being centre is bugging me too much.

nashwan, Saturday, 10 October 2015 15:12 (eight years ago) link

The silhouette is bugging me no matter where it is.

Was it two years ago that every cover was weird expression+looking off-lens+solid background? Glad they're reviving that shit.
