Cool Cover: Gothic Valentines
Details: Black roses! A compilation album including Joy Division and Soft Cell! Cleopatra Records has this red marble vinyl compilation LP of songs for Valentine’s Day such as David J’s version of “My Funny Valentine,” and who can resist bats all year round?

Cool Cover: Instant Crush‘s debut album, I’m Sorry I Didn’t Bite My Tongue
Details: Coming at us with a cat, pink heart cookie with cherries, and so much icing. The cookie reminds me of those traditional German Lebkuchen. Maybe it is one?

Cool Cover: Chime School‘s The Boy Who Ran The Paisley Hotel
Details: Sally Welchman, a UK-based artist, did this wonderful drawing of a kitty. Look at the toes! Who doesn’t enjoy a beautiful tabby with a little pink nose and I will say it again: look at the raccoon-like toes! Her site has some of her work for sale, such as prints and paintings on art board, wood etc.

Mila La Morena & Mita‘s “Crush”
Details: Chicago’s Mila La Morena & Mita joined forces for the song “Crush.” I love the large eyes and pink and black of the anime cover. Cool leather vibes too.

Cool Cover: Hot Sunday Blood‘s “Schwarze Seelen“
Details: Italian group gets extra spooky with the cover for their single “Schwarze Seelen.” That throne is something else. The mood of this art definitely fits in with the theme of black souls, which is what “Schwarze Seelen” means in German.

Cool Cover: Larkin Poe‘s Bloom
Details: This one’s a simple – yet really oh so cool – concept of Larkin Poe just hanging out with an amp amid flowers all over the floor. I also like the font used in the album’s design; it’s similar to Larkin Poe’s previous albums/singles. Bloom is set for a January 25th, 2025 release.

Larkin Poe‘s Bloom
Artist: Locusts and Honey
Album: Teach me to live that I dread the grave as little as my bed
Details: The swirls of fire in black and white really stick out on this cover. I also like the melting aspect around the skull. I don’t know who the artist is, but very nice work.

Artist: Joywave
Album: Permanent Pleasure
Details: How can you not like a painting of a cat sitting in a sun beam? Or maybe it’s a laser taking the cat away to an alien ship? Who can say? Artist Reuben Dangoor, who is based in London, created this great cover for Jowaves’ upcoming album.

Artist: Jeon Somi
Album: Game Plan
Details: Game Plan is South Korean/Canadian singer Jeon Somi’s debut EP. The cover is all about hearts, and I think even her hair might be done in a heart shape. I am not sure. But I love the red, pink and playing card concept.
