Best Album Covers of the Past 10 years?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Gigwise recently posted what they think are “The 50 Best Album Covers of the 2000s”! You can check out all of their top 50 picks, but here are my fave four (with their ranking included)!

santogold-santogold-33
18. Santogold: ‘Santogold’
Maybe it’s just because I love glitter, but I think it really makes this album cover. The more glitter the better I say!

10-animalcollective-merriweath
10. Animal Collective: ‘Merriweather Post Pavilion’
Trippy right?! Yeah that’s just a picture! Optical illusions are so confusing but I like them! Downside? Makes my brain hurt if I look at it for too long.

9deathfromabove1979
9. Death From Above 1979: ‘You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine’
Not only is this a fantastic album by a fantastic band (that is now broken up *tear*), but this is a fantastic album cover. Simple looking and simply effortlessly cool. Kinda Andy Warholish too. Rad.

3yeahyeahyeahs-itsblitz
3. Yeah Yeah Yeahs: ‘It’s Blitz!’
Is is blitz! I don’t like eggs usually as a food, but this cracked egg makes some pretty great art!

And now for my own personal choice that didn’t make the list…
vampireweekendcd2
Vampire Weekend: ‘Vampire Weekend’
This album cover makes me miss Polaroid cameras and the way that they could instantly capture a moment. Also this cover completely reflects Vampire Weekend and their preppy fun good times sound! Woohoo!

What album covers are your faves? Did they make the list?

Animal Collective @ Sound Academy

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

When I found out that Saturday’s Animal Collective show at the Sound Academy was sold out I was heart broken. When a friend mentioned they had a spare ticket I literally jumped for joy.

Animal Collective’s latest album Merriweather Post Pavilion it great. Believe the hype. Sure dubbing it “The Best Album of 2009″ is a bit much, but so far I gotta agree!
