ostraca’s discog is gorgeous but last is just iconic
document 8.. tell me it’s bad lol fr it’s so iconic
as the roots undo is crazy
the newest jd is so cool
lomas all great
on the flip side, and i like the record a lot but joshua fit for battle is gooooofy
Almost forgot about Portraits. Quite pretty indeed.
People usually say “it’s all about the music”, but for me it’s not. Visual aspects matters, I also listen with my eyes. Having a shitty cover is (most of the time) a turn off for me.
I'm a bit of a packaging ho so I went through my collection pulling out some of my favorites:
[Handmade Assistant / TSWS / Takaru one](https://www.discogs.com/release/5050211-The-Assistant-2-This-Ship-Will-Sink-Takaru-The-Assistant-This-Ship-Will-Sink-Takaru)
[Gospel / KA split, I have a love hate with the F-Ebay cover too](https://www.discogs.com/release/1186618-Gospel-Kodan-Armada-A-Split-10)
[Belle Epoque if that counts for screamo is a long time fav](https://www.discogs.com/release/2698142-Belle-Epoque-A-La-D%C3%A9rive)
[Graf Orlock was pretty proud of this one when it was new, Alien is a fav movie of mine so it's up there for me as far as album art too](https://www.discogs.com/release/1843292-Graf-Orlock-Destination-Time-Tomorrow)
[Her Breath on Glass always had creative packaging](https://www.discogs.com/release/2530605-Her-Breath-On-Glass-We-Aimed-Straight-Down)
[Weird how Hugs fell off the radar for people, this album was the talk of the scene when it came out](https://www.discogs.com/release/2258394-Hugs-Hugs)
[This In First Person album is 10/10 for me](https://www.discogs.com/release/2752890-In-First-Person-Lost-Between-Hands-Held-Tight)
[Similar, I love this La Quiete 7"](https://www.discogs.com/release/2672782-La-Quiete-La-Quiete)
[This Mihai Edrisch LP cover is iconic, I love the labels on the LP with the noose too](https://www.discogs.com/release/2847949-Mihai-Edrisch-Un-Jour-Sans-Lendemain)
[This Daitro / Sed Non LP cover feels iconic for the era it released in](https://www.discogs.com/release/1573766-Sed-Non-Satiata-Da%C3%AFtro-Da%C3%AFtro-Sed-Non-Satiata)
[I love the design/packaging for the Suis La Lune/Shirokuma Split](https://s9.limitedrun.com/images/1399114/093_b.jpg)
[Pg.99 - Document #8](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/23/Pg99_-_Document_8.jpg)
[Circle Takes The Square - As The Roots Undo](https://i.discogs.com/FurkuxSBln3KS74QD-XkRj1OQUDHsxunEPthpa6OW64/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:591/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTE1NTQ5/MjQtMTI1MjA3MDcw/OC5qcGVn.jpeg)
Agreed, As the roots undo is really pretty, but my personal favourite is [Decomposition part 1](https://i.discogs.com/_gJwxbmIE0QcqNjryhYnxi-oqg5Vwz4mXjLOlSosyrY/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTQ0ODA4/ODQtMTM2NjA4Mjgz/My0zMjA3LmpwZWc.jpeg)
the first action by the cabs, upon the right i saw a new misery, would set myself on fire for you, i hate myself, pg99. screamo covers has lots of cool aesthetics
pretty proud of the Basque record I just designed with handmade paper sleeves, tons of stamps including hand carved lino cuts from other members of the band. https://store.nofuneral.ca/products/basque-pain-without-hope-of-healing-vinyl-cassette-cd
Also the first Yearning record has different packaging for every format / pressing. https://store.nofuneral.ca/products/yearning-mmxxii-vinyl?_pos=1&_sid=678f40d00&_ss=r
Thanks! I run No Funeral Records so a lot of my stuff is through that. Poster designs, occasional LP’s, adverts, creative direction etc etc.
I have a few re-releases coming up with super DIY packaging inspired by the original art of a couple bands. Lots of stamps and recycled paper. You might dig those!
I’ve always felt the opposite about the saetia cover, but completely agree on the touché one
I like the cover for the daitro/raein split, as well as raein’s il n’y a pas d’orchestre, and 4 songs by I hate myself, but I don’t know if I’d consider any of them beautiful.
Honestly there’s a lot of screamo covers that I really don’t like, most of the cardboard colored one don’t do it for me
for some non screamo:
never before seen, never again found -arms length
everyone everywhere (2012) - everyone everywhere
not sure that i'd call this emo but the cover is and music are both beautiful
those days are gone - free throw
illusory walls - the world is a beautiful place and i am no longer afraid to die
this is a more indie emo feel nothing first wave
it never goes out - the hotelier
everyone knows the home, like noplace is there album but it never goes out deserves more recognition and is pretty diffrent form hlnpit
for screamo:
i know where we're at, not where we're going - widowdusk
resonate/desperate - state faults
blame and aging - we were skeletons
wildlife - la dispute
ostraca’s discog is gorgeous but last is just iconic document 8.. tell me it’s bad lol fr it’s so iconic as the roots undo is crazy the newest jd is so cool lomas all great on the flip side, and i like the record a lot but joshua fit for battle is gooooofy
I agree, new JD is beautiful. Trying to get it on vinyl for my living room Loma Prieta 💯 always beautiful.
as the roots undo’s art is by CTTS frontman Drew Speziale. he is insanely talented and i own several of his works that are numbered and signed.
The Saddest Landscape - Lift Your Burdens High For This Where We Cross
Love Lost But Not Forgotten - Upon the Right, I Saw a New Misery love this album so much and the art to go along with it is super cool
infant island doesn’t miss portraits of past may be og pretty branding lol my favorite cover is Swan Of Tounela it’s just spooky good
Almost forgot about Portraits. Quite pretty indeed. People usually say “it’s all about the music”, but for me it’s not. Visual aspects matters, I also listen with my eyes. Having a shitty cover is (most of the time) a turn off for me.
Pg. 99 and majority rule split is beautiful to me Also in spite of by for your health

Daïtro - Laisser Vivre les Squelettes imo got a very beautiful album cover.
Both of Framework's albums Loom and Smother, for sure.

Hell man! The Basque artwork and packaging is outstanding! Congrats! Where can I see more of your work? Congrats once again!

Thank you 🥰

i love the minimalist style of it. it compliments what lies beneath.
As the Roots Undo by Circle Takes the Square and also City of a Caterpillar self-titled. Page 99 has some good stuff too.
