cool - what's the writing in the moon - do you know?

[Kris K]

I don't like it. Can't wait for the album, though.

[pointyjess]

eeee! and the o's are moons! i like it. very soothing.

[charlie]

i have a larger version but i might have to save it for tonight, but the words in the building are backwards and there are plenty of words in the moon but i am not sure if they are a part of elliott lyrics or not. i havent had a chance to try to read the words in the buildings. ill try to add a larger version tonight

[king for a day]

Nice cover, I must say. Love the typography! It's very reminisent of the US 'Pretty (Ugly Before)' artwork. …and I'm starting to like the title 'New Moon' now haha!

Cheers Charlie.

PS I hope the booklet artwork will be as nice throughout.

[jkretz]

awesome, i have a good feeling about this disc as an entire package. it seems like people that really loved elliott and his work put this together. very reassuring that it's not just some heartless cash grab. :)

[HunterThompson]

wow those colours are awesome

[candypants!]

but but why can we see the moon if it's new?

okay i was taking it too literally...

but it's nice!

thanks charlie...

:heart:

[meepmeep]

i dig it

[thekingscrossing]

looks like the font from one of his live shows with quasi if i remember correctly

[finishwhatyoustart]

That's awesome!!

[jinp6301]

woah thats awesome

[neurotik]

nice cover, the blue is really soothing, i think.

[taylor]

I like it, but anything new related to Elliott will excite me these days.

[CombatWombat]

Well, I was going to use colored newspaper clippings to design my album cover...

but not anymore. :(

[fake concerns]

i love it! so cool.
i can't wait till i can get the album and read the text on the front. i can't really read it (darn eyes).

[blunderful]

sexy!!!

Thank goodness a larger version is coming. Bumbleort's eyes might have fallen out of his head trying to decipher the text otherwise.

[pointyjess]

:lol:

You're right, keenie.

[pointyjess]

ghost, i thought so too!

[recordrunning]

Ooh, I like it. I hope there's a picture of him on the back, though. Just because. :)

[Junk Bond Sam]

I dig it.

[fake concerns]

i hope the booklet is really thick. :cool:
and a lot of pictures need to be in there, too.
that would be loveli...er.

[jetsetvenom]

Makes me immediatly think of the Pretty (Ugly Before) single art. Very awesome! I can't wait to see that on the cover of a 12''!!!

[jetsetvenom]

P.S.

Won't this be the first album of his since Roman Candle that he's not on the cover somewhere?

[fake concerns]

No, he wasn't on the front cover of the self-titled album, either (well, his picture's on the back but does that count?).

I kind of wish they would've put his picture on the front cover, but if they have 6 pictures in the booklet I guess I'll forgive them. :) Hopefully there will be a picture on the back cover.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about him not being on the front of S/T

BUT THERES STILL THAT SILHOUETTE OF A GUY. THAT COULD BE HIM

/conspiracy


Really though. I smell a thread coming on. Hahaha

[totalnirvana]

This is awesome, thanks Charlie and Thanks KRS for sharing this stuff with us!

[stillthestatue]

thats a pretty cool album cover. pretty simple. I just wish it had a picture of elliott like most of his albums do. i love the picture they put on basement. either way this album is gonna be great

[bumbletort]

Thank goodness a larger version is coming. Bumbleort's eyes might have fallen out of his head trying to decipher the text otherwise.

Blindsided.

I nearly choked when I read this, Patrick.

And, yes!

WHAT DOES IT SAY??? WHAT DOES IT SAY?????

[bumbletort]

Magnificent cover, btw.

I'll never make it to May.

Sob.

[bumbletort]

but but why can we see the moon if it's new?

okay i was taking it too literally...

but it's nice!

thanks charlie...

:heart:

But it's only a paper moon, Candy.

[charlah]

awesome, I had a ton of images in my head of what it might look like, and this is better than any of them.

[Mister Grieves]

Aw, this cover looks amazing! I really can't wait to be able to hold this in my hands!:heart:

[pointyjess]

Is this Ben King?

http://www.crashamerica.com/html/covers.html

Looks like he did a Ben Harper album...and an Elliott poster in his posters section!
Hee hee, I like the mudhoney/scream/robot poster.

[pootiebigwang]

i really like the album cover.

very awesome.

it's mike king, jess. yeah i got that link too. mike's site: http://www.crashamerica.com if anyone wants to look around :)

[pointyjess]

ha ha got him confused with the 'stand by me' guy. :)
yeah, his stuff is totally neat!

[DrHibbert]

I think it's perfect.

[Bucket Destroyer]

I like it, but, I still kinda wish it was made entirely of Elliott pictures :erm but like i said, i still quite like it (I am now desperate to read whats in the moon) And it reminds me of the Pretty (Ugly Before) single like people have said.

Note: I went through gentleman_in_green's album on photobucket, it's so good. Man.

[LewdReed]

very cool cover... very very just "portland"... especially since it seems the artist, from portland, did some stuff for the wipers and other legendary portland bands. it's really like a new album... a lost album from elliott's portland period...


nice!

[charlie]

here is a link to the high resolution version of the cover. it is too large to post here but you can download it if you want here:

[baz]

get your deciphering hats on, everyone.

nice one, charlie.

[DrHibbert]

Charlie-
Any word on who Mike King is or what inspired him to make it like that?

[Adam981]

Ooo lovely cover, I actually really like that, very cool indeed. All this information in such a short amount of time, feel like my heads gonna blow up with all the excitement!

[lisa]

so did this mike guy do the pretty ugly cover as well? would make sense to me.

this is definitely the best cover ive seen of any of elliotts albums/singles. i love love love it. i hope they make big posters of it.

honestly s/t is the only elliott cover i really like. putting yourself on the cover always bugs me though for some reason, it's so britney/chirstina etc...

edit: xo is awesome too, because of the layering of images, but just a picture of the artist is so boring, its not album art at all really. thats my only point so dont freat out kids!

I always loved the Either/Or picture.

[Kris K]

I always loved the Either/Or picture.

That's his best album cover imo.

[Fantasy Paradox]

That's his best album cover imo.

thats prob his best album, in my opinion.

I love the back picture. I could never really figure out what it was. I always thought it was a chandelier (spelling?) but i feel like im wrong.

[lisa]

yeah either/or is a rather cool picture of him, its definitely the best of the picture covers.

i must admit i like this cover a lot because it reminds me of my favorite album cover of all time:

I prefer XO, but Either/Or is still pretty damn good. I'm kind of burned out on it because it was the first Elliott album I got into and must have played it hundreds of times in 11th and 12th grade.

[kittybear]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh pretty...rather even...

much much much love for broken social scene.

I personally woulodnt mind if it was just a blank cover, I'm way more excited for the album. That said ST is my favourite elliott album cover.

[lisa]

much much much love for broken social scene.
i know the girl who does fiests vocals when they tour.. they are the best live act ever. ugh its been to long since ive seen a show of theirs!

they toured here not so long ago, none of my friends wanted to go coz they'd put their money into another concert that week or something, so ended up not going, now I hear they aren't gonna tour for a while I wish I'd gone. I got all their albums though. Listened to its all gonna break quite a few times this week, one of their best songs I think.

[pointyjess]

"sacrifice forever"
"were down for the living flowers good"
"life was sleeping"
"full moon"
"wonderful"
"disappeared"
"trampled"
"love slept"
:heart:

yeah ive seen them twice and since im in toronto i always get the FULL band, feist, amy millan and stars, apostle of hustle, jason collet, sometimes the drummer from dfa, and the regular members. just incredible. all their albums are amazing. love that song :yes:

[Bello Novella]

aw the cover is perfect.

[Mister Grieves]

I like how "Heaven" is in the middle of the moon:)

[SomeRockSong]

Wouldn't have minded a picture of him on it

<-- thats my fav

But its still pretty damn good

[robot hand]

it matches the tshirt with the shoes too.. i like it!

[Paul Kemp]

but but why can we see the moon if it's new?

okay i was taking it too literally...


No, that was exactly my first thought.

[sombre winds]

No, that was exactly my first thought.

Mine too. I guess they focused on the "moon" part instead of the "new". There'd be no way to have a picture of a new moon.

[robot hand]

STOP THE LOGIC

[ParentheticalThought]

No, that was exactly my first thought.

Me too. And a "new" moon that you can't see would have made sense in the context of this being music from an artist that we can't see, even tho we know he's up there somewhere (by whatever definition of "up there somewhere" you use). When I first heard the album title I pictured Portland by moonlight but with no moon in the sky.

But I like this too. Calm, and with one of Elliott's most-used images. And soon to be wrapped around new music from him.

[jinp6301]

stop thinking and start enjoying!!!
