I came home a half hour early as I am still sick and feel like shit. I sat down for a poop when I noticed a direct message on my Instagram from Chris at Encore. The photo was a pile of GBV singles that just came in. I bolted up and drove right over. Al had the singles by the register waiting for me. I fucking love Encore Records.
COVER CRITIQUE:
 |
| Great cover. Good layout. Killer font. GBV these days tend to use three different fonts, this being the typewriter font. I dig. |
 |
| This one is ok. Killer classic GBV font down below, and while I love the picture, this may have looked better as back cover art. |
 |
| I keep thinking this is a Boston Spaceships single. I wonder if it was made at the same time as the Our Cubehouse Still Rocks album art. This Side A is my instant favourite. I cranked it so loud last night and it sounded so good. Raw and bass heavy. |
 |
| LOVE this cover. Love the colours. Love the idea of going to a warm place right now. THAT is a GBV font right there. |
 |
| I find some of my favourite Bob art are the ones where he uses pink and blues. Like Tonights the Rodeo and Suitcase 3. This font reminds me of Propeller. Thats a good thing. |

Phew, thought I was gonna read the whole thing and not see any font discussion !
ReplyDeleteLove all the fonts here, but then for the album they use my least favourite font. Classic GBV curveball.
