Strange Realization

Jay Som - Anak Ko

Slow Meadow - Happy Occident

Okay, I just realized the covers for the new Jay Som and Slow Meadow albums kinda remind me of each other. Both released this year. Both great albums. I mean, I'm sure it's a coincidence. It's just strange how they're both illustrated, kinda stark and minimalist. The Jay Som cover is someone roundhouse kicking at, or dancing in the shadow of a falling sun. The Slow Meadow cover is someone physically cutting the sun in half. The music in each album is pretty different and they're both worth your time.

Word Magazine's World: Album Covers

A friend posted this elsewhere, it's Word Magazine's album covers map. It's pretty cool, a google map with album covers. As stated on the site, "Word Magazine readers have been busy building this map showing where iconic album cover photographs were taken."
