Covers With Great Photography
Pretty self explanatory. I'm a huge fan of album art and here's a list rof some of my favourite rcovers that use photography as the sole rvisual basis. |
1 | | Defeater Travels
The expression and the colours evoke such a dark story, which suits the
album's story perfectly. |
2 | | The Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet
This one has such a spontaneous and rocknroll feeling. |
3 | | The Mars Volta Frances The Mute
Gives such an odd feeling, like a David Lynch scene. |
4 | | Battles Mirrored
It's so sleek and hyper real. |
5 | | The Libertines The Libertines
I love this one, it tells such a story. |
6 | | Bad Religion 80-85
Super punk, and the design makes it look like a proper classic. |
7 | | DJ Shadow Endtroducing
It looks really unusual but fun to look at and creates a cool mood. |
8 | | Crystal Castles Crystal Castles II
Same as above. |
9 | | The Strokes Is This It
Despite the subject matter this photo has such a great sense of shape, like
a porno Man Ray. |
10 | | Fang Island Fang Island
I like the playful mood that I feel complements the music very well. |
11 | | Nirvana Bleach
I've loved this since I was about 12, it always encapsulated the spirit of
rock for me and that feeling stuck with me since then. |
12 | | Wild Nothing Gemini
Obviously chopped but still counts. |
13 | | These Arms Are Snakes Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home
I just love how offhand this is and the deep colours are awesome. |
14 | | These Arms Are Snakes This Is Meant To Hurt You
Love the creepy atmosphere. |
15 | | Dangers Messy, Isn't It?
Looks like a screencap from a film, with such a grim message revealed with
your second glance. |
16 | | Celeste Nihiliste(s)
Such a beautiful black and white shot, with a mood that complements the
music's incredibly dark sound. |
17 | | Russian Circles Station
No idea why but I just really like how this just works. |
18 | | The Chariot Long Live
Just looks really bad ass. |
19 | | Deftones Around The Fur
Love how it doesn't explain the music's sound at all, and the unusual angle
makes it look very stylized and uncomfortable. |
20 | | The Cave Singers Invitation Songs
I dunno, just love the serenity. |
21 | | JR Ewing Ride Paranoia
I've always loved the sight of tons of equipment thrown about. |
22 | | Dillinger Four Situationist Comedy
Bizarre is good. |
23 | | The Afghan Whigs Gentlemen
Don't actually have this one but the boy's eyes are so eerie so it's stuck
with me. |
24 | | Beck Odelay!
Love this dog! |
25 | | Radiohead Amnesiac
Couldn't think of another one, but I suppose this could count. |
