From far away or when flipping through the music store, this cover always looks to me like she has really big hair.

I just finished reading Ann Rule’s book, “Green River, Running Red” about Gary Ridgeway, the Green River killer.

As “Deep Red Bells” is obviously about being a woman growing up in the Pacific Northwest during this time period, I had to take a second look at the album cover for “Blacklisted”.

What I saw made me about jump out of my seat – there’s Neko, lying on the ground of some parking lot next to a car with Washington state license plates, as an aircraft takes off over her head.

The unsettling part about it is that the vast majority of the murders that Ridgeway committed were all in the area around the SeaTac airport. He would pick up prostitutes on the highway that ran nearby, and then would kill them in the secluded, run down areas purchased by the airport as part of their expansion. Quite a few bodies were found all around the airport as well, as I recall.

That Neko. Not only purty, but smart, too…

I like how she uses primarily one font for all her releases (even in Furnace Room Lullaby on the inside, though the cover text is blurred).

I’ve been seeing that font everywhere including most of Lyle Lovett’s (beautifully designed) albums.

Anyone know what it is?

Fox Confessor is a great cover. The beauty is obvious even at a glance, but the horror is more subtle. It’s kind of a freakout as you notice the details.
