Found via Spin a great video with El-P and comic book artist Millard who designed the artwork. Can’t embed it but head here to see it.
The Walkmen : Lisbon
Great typography on top of a subtle image. Reminiscent of recent Vampire Weekend artwork it’ll no doubt fit perfectly with the music. Available for pre-order now it’ll be released in October 11th in the UK and released nearly a month earlier stateside on September 14th.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – History Of Modern
So after fourteen years OMD are back with a new studio album and its an album with the original line up as well. They toured not so long back and I can safely say my wife and I were the youngest people in the audience by about 20 years.
See more and read more about the new OMD album

But this feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
Peter Gabriel’s recent album came in some truely awesome limited edition packaging. It was designed at Real World by Marc Bessant and includes a USB key in its own laser engraved foam tray, a blood red vinyl with unique artwork, a print of the album cover which is signed and numbered by Gabriel himself, special edition double CD in a special 10 inch case with gloss laminated cover,a production credits panel and a foil blocked Certificate of Authenticity.
All this could be yours for $299 dollars from here. As wonderful as this item is for $299 I want to be able to say I’d put my peepee in the great man’s mouth.
More of this pretty after the jump

I held off posting until mid-week in the hope of finding something else worthy of posting. I’ve found diddly squat with the exception of The Leisure Society so well done them.

Some big bands released some great artwork this week. They don’t quite peak it to the top spot because Mungolian Jetset’s artwork is fantastic (as is the title).
More form Baddies, Lynyrd Skynyrd & Newton Faulkner...
