I'll be sick of seeing that every time I open the thread by next Friday. The curse of being the thread opener, i guess.

This gives me a typography boner

Undecided about this one. Alejandra Deheza is clearly a beautiful subject, but nothing about this cover means anything.

that School of Seven Bells cover is bad. I agree with you on the typeface of Kinny record.

― EZ Snappin, Monday, 2 January 2012 22:43 (thirteen years ago)

School of Seven Bells Goes Tory? I always knew there was something about them I didn't like.

xiu xiu cover looks like a combo of the graphic design of the last washed out album + the gross body imagery of the last toro y moi album, these are obvious hints that this will be their chillwave magnum ops

― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 16:55 (thirteen years ago)

chillwave magnum opus

Magnum opi are not very chill.

I have no idea who Alcest is (are?) but that cover is gorgeous. Like the midpoint between the last Planningtorock album cover and Fever Ray's "When I Grow Up" video.

i really like this cover

[the album also features diane birch on additional vocals]

― mark e, Friday, 3 February 2012 16:38 (thirteen years ago)

It'd be better without the "Phenomenal Handclap Band" text.

(I know next to nothing about the band, the name just makes me irrationally angry)

I like both lines of text AND I like this band. So there.

One of the guys on npr's all songs considered who isn't bob boelin was talking them up quite a bit a few years back. Don't remember what they actually sounded like, but maaan do I hate that name.

Love the Rhine Gold and have decided that I also really like the Phenomenal Handclap Band one, at least the title type. But I can't picture that one existing as anything other than a vaguely musty smelling LP.

Buildings feels like it's trying too hard, or at least having the title on the oranges pushed it that way for me.

yeah the handclap band cover just bothers me, its too blatantly trying to be a "all things must pass" or "houses of the holy." good at the aesthetic it's trying to represent but too much instagram's p much ruined that for me

young magic is nice. get a ho-hum, treading-water feeling off wooden shjips and that cadillac one upthread. agree about the font though.

― Little GTFO (contenderizer), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:28 (thirteen years ago)

i know wooden shjips isn't chillwave but that cover reads very generic chillwave to me

― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:28 (thirteen years ago)

Wooden Shjips one is perfect, especially playing off the artwork for the parent album, but I also sort of feel like it should be a Trans Am album with that font. Or like Trans Am should have used that Wooden Shjips font for this one:

if you like energetic tropical dance music:

Soundway are set to release the debut album from Batida, the brainchild of Angolan / Portuguese DJ Mpula aka Pedro Coquenão. A distinctly modern and vibrant project with its feet firmly rooted in the past, Batida combine samples from old 1970s Angolan tracks with modern electronic dance music. Music is the starting point but through dance, graphics, photography, radio and video, Batida expands, taking in politics and social commentary but always bringing it back to the party.
Being the first of a string of brand new projects, this eponymous first album sees Soundway taking a slightly different direction in 2012 and beyond. Championed mostly for their work in un-earthing and re-releasing classic, rare and vintage tropical recordings, Soundway have started signing new acts that have drawn on and been inspired by the kind of music found on the label’s groundbreaking compilations and re-issues.
What originally started out as a radio show designed to promote new African music has slowly evolved into a collaborative project crossing continents.
Whereas nearly all of kuduro (Angolan electronic music) has no obvious references to its country’s musical heritage, it is deeply engrained in Batida’s music. Sampling tracks from 1970s Angola, Batida is a reinterpretation of Angola’s musical past, bringing it firmly into the modern day.
Batida’s high energy live show features dancers, live samples, percussionists, MCs alongside visuals and images (both archive and new) of Angolan streets, war and fragments of tribal life.

Basically another branding of nostalgia. It's funny cos i read mentions of Seapunk somewhere but only just now realized when i was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s i went through a phase with my brothers were our clothes were like really neon colors and tropical themed and completely stupid. I didn't get the reference cos I just never thought that style was worth digging up. How wrong i was.

Sounds more or less like the 2012 equiv to the 2008 hipster jackass that wears headbands everywhere.

― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 12 April 2012 19:23 (thirteen years ago)

i wouldn't call the pictureplane cover seapunk, to me it seems pretty standard '11 net art style whereas seapunk is mostly met with eye rolls even within the net art community

On the one hand you do have the deliberate cheapness and the crassness of the skull, which is entirely in keeping with the 80's horror soundtrack vibe of the music and there's some sort of narrative being set up - the skull isn't facing itself, it's freaking out at something unknown located outside of the shot (in the car? outside the car?). The different reflections in the mirror are puzzling cos it looks like the windows are reflecting back into it. You've got that white van and you're wondering what's in the back, or who just got out. And where does that path outside lead? And then you have the beauty of the raindrops on the windscreen, that lovely greenness of the garden, the way the sky is actually quite bright, but the blue sun strip thing is modulating the light.

Do people not Google their band name ideas

Short answer? No.
Long answer? I think we're about out of suitable names if the hundreds of horribly named bands I come across at work every day are any indication. I'd rather have two artists named Doldrums than even one named Stony Danza or Forever The Sickest Kids.

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:31 (thirteen years ago)

if ohno had just put the doom character of the graf as a central factor then i'd love it more, as it is, the end result, is very ukhh 2005.

then again that could be the intention.

oh, and that ty cover = animal collective styled crap.

no amount of persusion will convince me otherwise ..

― mark e, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:32 (thirteen years ago)

ukhh?
animal collective styled crap?

― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:36 (thirteen years ago)

ohno = generic ukhh cover from a different decade (no real evidence of this other than HHC mixtapes .. )

ty = more shyte a la animal collection

no real visual connection, other than a lack of style/imagination.

― mark e, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:42 (thirteen years ago)

Ha, still no clue what you're talking about but I'll take your word for it.

I think that Ty Segall illustration is pretty striking.

― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:51 (thirteen years ago)

ukhh = uk hip hop
hhc = hip hop connection, a cult british rap rag that closed down about 5 years ago and was way better than source/xxl/fader/other. also used to have a monthly covermount cd often w/ generic graf/cartoon type covers.

problem with ohno cover is that doom is the only recognisable cartoon, the rest are hard to pick out

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 23:32 (thirteen years ago)

also ukhh p much died with hip hop connection, as far as i can tell. lots of the dudes seemed to drift into this lame kinda-electro/kinda-dubsteppy poprap thing since but its not the same, even if dudes are finally earning. its a shame tho, so much of my teenage years was spent on buses reading about some white dude in nottingham, listening to early 1xtra mixtapes with talented guys freestyles who you never heard of again.

Paste put up their best list too, which is a really shitty selection:

Pretty shocked that a Paste list would have a shitty selection of anything.

re: Pitchfork best/worst album covers

I was glad to see the Lone album in the best of list because I think that's a really nice cover, but yeah, otherwise most of the best ones seemed like just the most popular Pitchfork albums as opposed to ones that had really nice design.

Enjoyed seeing the sad goths on the worst of list.

haha remember when pfork posted the shop I did of Chris Brown's Graffiti with the blue bowtie from the Larry King interview in their "Worst Album Covers"?

Jesus, they really could have some kind of warning about the boner cover. It just froze on it while the page was loading.

This cover is genuinely baffling to me - I honestly can't even imagine what it's trying to suggest:

Is that the new James Ferraro persona?
