Rec'd on 💿 8/21: FAVORITE ALBUM COVER?

the end of all known land - hello meteor

Honestly I could put any of their album covers here, I love that they all feel like artifacts from some Other version of history, they all have a character that really speaks to the atmosphere the album is going for. But this one always sticks out to me, it's simple in a similar way to the cover of Music For Airports, but the bold colouring gives it a foreboding atmosphere as well. So simple in concept but still so vivid somehow

Broadcast - work and non work

All of their album covers are great. Tender Buttons comes in as a close second but the design of this debut is just so sleek.

wasteland baby (Hozier)

"Why would you make out of words a cage for your own bird? When it sings so sweet The screaming, heaving fuckery of the world?" the crooner's sophomore outing, finding beauty and hope amidst the end of the world loved unreal unearth, loved the debut. but if you ask me, this is his strongest album. there's something about the imagery invoked in this album that is so specific, but feels so unique to him. that underwater cover art kinda encompasses that; normally when we think of wastelands, its just dry nothingness for miles. but this feels very "noah's ark flood" end of the world. the calm before the storm, the storm, and the aftermath the VOCALS on this thing go apeshit btw this also just has some of my favorite songs of his. MOVEMENT is criminally slept on. shrike is so bittersweet and beautiful. dinner & diatribes and almost (sweet music) are absolute jams. talk...? TALK?!! jesus christ. i can't listen to the title track without weeping. there's such a melancholy that almost makes me sick but it's like...the hug you'd want from a loved one as the world caves in good time😃! emotional damage😃! have fun😃!

ride, "vapour trail"

From their 1990 debut, which came out 24 years ago today. "First you look so strong/then you fade away" -- perfection, it basically signals their musical intent. This gorgeous slice of shoegaze convinces me that winter is still a ways away. The instruments all fade out one by one near the end of the track, unusual (but ideal) for an outro.
