I've been following the guy who did that RUFUS cover on tumblr for a while. Lots of people have started going to him for cover art.

tellytubby riot cop wtf. that looks ugly as sin

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 10 March 2016 18:20 (nine years ago)

Skewbi & Head Dress looks cool tho. Prince Rama cover is mesmerizing

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 10 March 2016 18:21 (nine years ago)

The Fatima Al-Qadiri is a Josh Kline artwork. I agree that it's not very good, though (v Banksy "make u think"). Still reckon the album will be cool.

emil.y, Thursday, 10 March 2016 18:26 (nine years ago)

Maybe the teletubby cop is popopo?

sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Thursday, 10 March 2016 19:18 (nine years ago)

genuinely surprised someone hasn't released an album cover yet w a broken image link

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 10 March 2016 20:30 (nine years ago)

it could be like the white album and just have that little symbol in the corner like the album cover failed to load

Oh man a couple of days ago I was brushing my teeth before going to bed and out of nowhere I had a sudden intense memory that Soul Asylum was a band that existed.
