love that warpaint cover, kind of indifferent about the other
― signed, J.P. Morgan CEO (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 3 December 2013 16:43 (eleven years ago)
Nice start to the thread, that Warpaint is fantastic and has me even more anxious to hear it.

Is "WARPAINT" slightly askew? Like the T is higher than the W? Could just be my eyes finding the red on black tough.

wow, "chambers" cover is outstanding
― marcos, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 17:13 (eleven years ago)
actually though everything is great "chambers" except for the words, i think it'd like it better if it was just the image without the words

IDGI. Seems pretty generic-ethereal to me? With a nod to the old 'many heads in one' cover trope. I don't dislike it at all, I just don't see what there is to love.

I love multiple exposure photo art, so whether it's new/novel or not is irrelevant imo. It looks neato.

It's just beautiful. The colors are amazing. Look at that swath of red going from the one shirt to the next - and onto some hair?

They look like smoke. The black border gives it a 1980s cassette feel or something

And the shade of green almost reminds me of Dr.Feelgood. The Chambers cover looks nice too.

lion lady = the cover art for Single's Rea, painted by their labelmate Javier Aramburu from the band Family. the rough American equivalent would be Devendra Banhart painting Joanna Newsom's face on a wolf's body, whereupon Joanna gushed about how "it's so empowering!" and "wolf is my spirit animal!"
it's very much a corny indie gesture, but I like it
