The whole layout for the latest album from Swans is fantastic, a whole set of vintage-looking crying children heads centered on an off-gold palette. It's amazing.
Seriously, just look at that cover. How could you not like it? It looks like an early-90's comic book.
I actually thought about just doing a whole blog on different soundtrack album covers, but the sheer amount of fantastic releases coming out from Mondo, Death Waltz, Waxwork, One Way Static, and on and on just makes that a futile task. One of my favorites to come out this year is the beautiful cover for the "Chopping Mall" score created by Australian art duo We Buy Your Kids. I would totally hang that on my wall.
Phantom City Creative designed the cover for Mondo's reissue of "The Omen," and it's perfect. Creepy, unsettling, and just beautifully crafted, it's the art of nightmares.
I don't know why i love the cover to proggy Manchester duo Plank!'s "Aphidelity" 7" so much. It looks like a poster for the kind of movie we would have rented for a sleepover back in grade school. If someone wants to make this "movie" a reality, i will gladly pitch in.
Aside from awesome artwork, all of these releases have some pretty stellar jams on them as well. Check them out.
