jeselnik cover and album name a+++

― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:29 (twelve years ago)

I would listen to any album with that cover and especially any album with that cover AND title. Thankfully I'm already a bit familiar with Jeselnik and yeah, he's funny.

I like that one. I have no use for the band but that's pretty great.

― EZ Snappin, Monday, 7 January 2013 14:59 (twelve years ago)

Yeah, I wish they were better, because they have two pretty special album covers so far.

― Johnny Fever, Monday, 7 January 2013 15:00 (twelve years ago)

Know nothing of the band, but would probably buy any thrift-store paperback Sci-Fi novel that had that as a cover.

i know it's supposed to be parodying some kind of blaxploitation trope but that action bronson cover is pretty much exactly the bobby digital in stereo cover.

― Poliopolice, Tuesday, 8 January 2013 02:06 (twelve years ago)

didn't that Three Legged Race album come out in December?

not nitpicking, just trying to figure out if it's eligible for my 2013 list. i thought it was scheduled for early December but now all of a sudden, i'm seeing reviews (including p4k's)

― alpine static, Tuesday, 8 January 2013 05:25 (twelve years ago)

Yeah it definitely came out in 2012, it was on Spotify last month.

Last two are solid enough that I'm close to Googling those bands.

Even their names are almost the same! Did he change his last name from "Bult" to "Grant" once he got on parole?

― Tuomas, Thursday, 31 January 2013 09:45 (twelve years ago)

Haha yes, it's just perfect. He's come out saying he's a reformed character: given up the booze, quit the tobacco, got himself some book-learning - and yet all the same, he knows what you know and I know: the beast still lurks within.

― questino (seandalai), Thursday, 31 January 2013 18:23 (twelve years ago)

Looks nice, but all the extra stuff on the cover kinda ruins the cool image. Why not have only the title there, and everything else on the back cover?

― Tuomas, Friday, 1 February 2013 09:17 (twelve years ago)

It's part of the label's house style. Works better on some covers than others.

― Jaap and roids (NickB), Friday, 1 February 2013 09:28 (twelve years ago)

Yeah, but I'm not sure I understand why and when Sacred Bones decides to break with the house style. They're breaking it a little for the new Men record, but that one up there seems like a much better design to allow a break.

The Dilla cult is real but there's also a little bit of a Thomas theorem thing going on with all that. *skips over that mess*

I've liked pretty much everything I've heard from Darryl Reeves thus far (though not really familiar with the rest of the quartet), haven't come across any jazz oriented interpretations of Dilla (Besides the track Robert Glasper did last year). Thought I'd give it a go and it checks out. He has fun with it, none of it feels too derivative and at 26 minutes it doesn't come close to outstaying its welcome. Its refreshing and doesn't feel unnecessary or forced.

The photographer's work was in an exhibit at the Met in NYC recently:

Inspired by chase scenes in 1960s and 1970s action movies and television shows such as Bullitt, The Streets of San Francisco, and The Dukes of Hazzard, Porter’s photographs of floating muscle cars are captivatingly implausible. The vehicles are die-cast models that the artist shoots in his studio, mimicking the lighting conditions of the backgrounds into which they are inserted. Here, a 1970 Plymouth GTX hovers above a hazy streetscape near downtown Los Angeles, glinting in the late afternoon sun like a modern-day winged chariot.

― Moka, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 05:01 (twelve years ago)

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 (twelve years ago)

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 (twelve years ago)

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 (twelve years ago)

:-)

I retract having called him a 'former hero' though. Schulze is an all time hero, despite him not having made a decent record since 1986 (TD's Underwater Sunlight).

Detour here, but it were my twin uncles that got me into TD and Schulze, that whole German (krautrock) scene tbh. They were 20 years old when they hitchhiked to Germany for a summer holiday, in 1979, the year I was born. Both of them with long hair and always wearing white overalls, just like Schulze on stage. They dared to try and meet Schulze at his home/studio. Just rang the doorbell, anxious and embarrassed. Klaus was beyond kind and generous: they ended up spending hours at his place. Schulze showed them his home studio, served them coffee and cake, and played them some tunes that right then were still unreleased (they turned out to be tracks from the upcoming Tangram album). Fantastic story for me.

Does the mismatched alignment between top and bottom really bother anybody else? I mean, I know "galactics" is slightly longer than "tactile" but that still looks sloppy. Love the colors, though; it reminds me a bit of Stanislaw Lem book covers:

yatha bhuta jazz combo - s/t

― cock chirea, Thursday, 13 June 2013 02:04 (eleven years ago)

The artwork on Yatha Bhuta Jazz Combo is a painting from Mati Klarwein titled “Conceptual Tree”, a fitting touch to the album that was secured from Yatha Bhuta Jazz Combo and Mati Klarwein’s son meeting at a exhibit for his fathers works. His work graces the covers of such classics as Earth, Wind & Fire’ Last Days In Time, Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew and Santana’s Abraxas and now you can add Yatha Bhuta Jazz Combo to that list.

― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 13 June 2013 04:27 (eleven years ago)

the matches one is great. it reminds me of like an underwater biosphere where people live after the earth has become uninhabitable. might buy the album just to own the cover.

― Treeship, Thursday, 13 June 2013 04:39 (eleven years ago)

Yeah the Matchless one is very good. Must be loads of record covers with that New Atlantis/Captain Nemo/Jar Jar Binks concept on them (e.g. Eternal Tapestry album from last year, though that was clearly in space), but that one is done in a really neat way, kind of a hodge-podge of styles: 50's architectural magazine feature in the foreground, stuff in the background is almost a chintzy Christmas card alpine village, but the perspective and layout is totally Japanese landscape painting, and then that roof is very Eurostar terminal at St Pancras. What does it sound like?

― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Thursday, 13 June 2013 09:00 (eleven years ago)

Miles one is *very* similar to the last Junior Boys album whatever the heck that was called, I still like it though. Good record too, more of a focussed and dance-oriented thing than the Demdike stuff, still plenty of weirdness though (it's Miles Whittaker for anyone that was wondering).

Is that a Speeding Train drawing, MN? And Nowherians is you, right?

― emil.y, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 23:55 (eleven years ago)

Nakagin Capsule Tower, Tokyo. Great and perpetually endangered, and pretty much the fullest built manifestation of Metabolist architecture.

ARU, OPN and ricarda comet are ace (learned from circa1916 in the OPN thread that the new album cover is a still from this fucking incredible short film). otherwise:

idg ~~half~~ 9/10ths of what's in this thread.

― Me and my pool noodle (contenderizer), Thursday, 4 July 2013 00:03 (eleven years ago)

XP - Hey Emily, yep well spotted Chris is the man. And yes, Nowherians is me.

The EP is sort-of based around the Nakagin Capsule Tower, - as much as instrumental music can be based around anything - I've been obsessing over that building ever since reading a book on Tokyo architecture. Gonna see it for reals next year.

Oh, MaresNest, that sounds really cool! Hope I didn't seem dismissive above, I think it's cool, particularly with the rendering of the wear-and-tear, nice contrast to the idealized way it's usually represented.

thanks johnny. i found it, too, right after that last post. figured it'd be soothing new age psych, but instead it seems to be vaguely disturbing electronic noise. p cool though.

"if you look closely you'll see that the crystal chandelier style bangles have at some point been replaced, albeit with actual crystal. the quality is good but it does take away from the value somewhat. i'd say, overall, this piece would fetch between 5-8,000 dollars at auction."

Hmmm, I dunno how true it is (there could be lots of other reasons for the popularity of psychedelic imagery right now) but I could almost imagine that simply seeing more things on vinyl might encourage an artist to imagine their work in that nice large format, and go ahead and include details that they might otherwise not have. But then I think that the worst era for album art was probably the height of the CD years. Even stuff that I imagine doesn't sell that much on vinyl has been looking a lot better lately (big pop albums and stuff).

I had all but two of those (Cure and Smiths) cut out and taped to my door in high school.

meant to add the vastum cover the other day, but forgot. so great! was bummed by the comparatively dull imagery on the vinyl version, but turns out it has a poster of that ghastly thing inside (uncropped art, no text).

the artist, paolo girardi, also did the covers for this year's power trip and inquisition albums (among a ton of other stuff, busy dude). think i might have posted the former somewhere way upthread...

man, FACT's best 30 are almost as bad as their worst 30. baffling choices, most of them.
