Oh dear god. Poor Brian.

Thought there was something odd about Brian on that album cover (different 'texture' to the others)



I'm pretty sure it's cut, pasted and airbrushed up the wazoo from this photo :

I foresee that Photoshopped Brian head becoming the next CaB meme...

Can anyone remember who was responsible for the weird album cover from about 3-4 years ago, some Pitchfork-approved thing that looked like yellow and pink goo with some kind of metal clamps attached to it?  Everyone reckoned it looked disturbing.  Don't know how to google for it.

A crap cover for a crap album

I've not heard anything from it yet but I've read a few people saying bad things about it... Might have to check it out on Spotify before purchasing.

I just saw that advertised in the window of Tower Records tonight.

I'd expect nothing less from a bunch of jokers that use a V in place of a U. Are they ancient Romans? No they fucking aren't.

Some parallels with Imagine Dragons. Mostly sounds like music composed for laptop adverts.

I liked their first two albums, but this one is shite, sadly.

Amateur remix uploaded to datpiff, or something

It's designed to look good on a smartphone screen, so it looks shite up close.

olliebean

It doesn't exactly not look shite on a smartphone screen, though.

Dunno if yous are already aware of this, but in case not; the 'V' was inserted to help narrow down Google searches for the band. It's a primarily a practical solution, not the old-timey affectation yous interpret it as. Of course you could argue why not call yourself something more googlable in the first place, but still. Worth mentioning.

Also worth mentioning is that before CHVRCHES were formed, Lauren Mayberry was the cover star of one of the most subtly amusing record sleeves of all time.

I want CHVRCHES to get even more famous so I can sell the library book in the above picture on eBay 'as touched by Lauren Mayberry'
