This cover for Ground Components’ first full length album caught my eye while we were updating the ARIA website. It stood out from the myriad of bland covers that dominate the ARIA’s. Sadly it seems this album isn’t nominated for anything. I’m not even sure why we were sent the cover? Check out some tunes [...]
Some very nice photography by the amazing Timothy Saccenti for New York experimental band ‘Battles’. The art direction and design is supplied by one of the band members, Dave Konopka. These images are taken from the set of the band’s video for first single ‘Atlas’. The yellow drum set reminds us of the one featured [...]
Mika’s music is catchy, fun and colourful and its good to see his cover artwork is much of the same. I didn’t even know who Mika was but then after checking out his website I realized I’d heard that “Love Today” song many times but never knew the singers name. His music reminds me of [...]
The best thing about becoming a Van Halen fan in the mid 80′s, admittedly starting with 5150 and then learning that the only true Van Halen was David Lee Roth Van Halen, was i instantly had access to an already great catalogue (ok Diver Down was a bit sketchy).
Janée Meadows recently sent us the artwork she created for the upcoming Donnas album. As a fan and the fact i think the cover is fantastic i couldn’t resist posting it. The artwork instantly takes me back to the great days of 80′s metal, especially the hair bands which unashamedly rocked my teenage years. Airbrushing [...]
I’ll preface this feature with the note that in high school I was a huge Giger fan. I had all the books (well the ones I could afford), posters, key rings, calendars and more crap. So expect to see features on the ELP covers soon. I think Jimmy Page sums up best how I feel [...]
A friend made me realise recently that I don’t know shit about comic art anymore. It’s been years since I actually read a comic book. I LOOK at art now and I can analyse colours and shapes and design principles but its been a while since I actually indentified with a comic as heavily as [...]
It’s a shame this is album isn’t actually that good (it’s no Push the Button) as I really like the cover. The wooden boom box created by Todd St. John and Gary Benzel of Hunter Gatherer & Green Lady fame. In fact Hunter Gatherer have done some amazing work (a lot featuring wood) so be [...]
The first thing I thought when I saw this cover was ‘Is that Prince?’. While the photo for the cover by Mark Seliger is beautiful and thought provoking, the choice of font makes comic sans almost seem like a better choice. The design and art direction is credited to Len Peltier for whom I can [...]
I’ve always liked both The Chemical Brothers music and their artwork. Push The Button is no exception. I was about to talk about their latest (and pretty damn good) album ‘We Are the Night’ but thought I’d wait to see if any more singles are released before delving into that one. What I didn’t realize [...]
