Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "sleep", and first off, HAH, as a dad of two kids under 5 what the hell is sleep. Second, who needs sleep? Third, "Who Needs Sleep?" was a great song. Fourth, Stunt was a great album.
All the layers that went into the cover art for the Mental Clutter EP. Quite a few photos that ended up as subtle texture (I had big plans when I took that cauliflower pic).
The original idea was to use use that pic of the Circuit Rhythm as the cover, but that seemed too much like product placement, so I used it as inspiration instead.
Second album by this SW Virginia area trio. Soon One Morning is firmly planted in Old-Time Appalachian tradition, but concentrates mostly on original material. Standing out in particular is "Floyd Allen," Ralph Berrier Jr's masterful retelling of an area tragedy with a sweet and unexpected major/minor chorus change-up. Mike Gangloff's lengthy and elegiac instrumental "This War Is Killing Me" glides along on a sad melody passed around between resonator guitar, cello and fiddle. Many tracks are anchored by Gangloff's unusual gut-string baritone banjo. Two solo instrumentals on the CD add balance between the vocal numbers - Isak Howell's "Have You Been To Alabama?" is a subtle fingerpicked workout, while Gangloff's "Ironto Special" is a considerably more exotic-sounding modal construction on the big banjo. Elsewhere, there's an upbeat essay of "Pallet On The Floor," a relation to "Poor Boy Long Ways From Home," which appeared on the groups debut North Fork Flyer album. Among the traditional numbers, none is more striking than the group's charging and rough treatment of "Oh Death," with Gangloff and Berrier spitting out the call and response vocal which gives the album its title.

I’ve said this before, but we’re living in a conceptual golden age in music. One of my favourite bands of the moment is @greenlungband, and this is the package you get with their new album, ‘This Heathen Land: A Journey into Occult Albion’. A map, a workbook full of scribbles, a cover that pays tribute to mid-20th century books out on Penguin and its imprints, and a whole concept introduced in the first seconds…
After being shrouded in mystery for over half a century, the identity of the man depicted on the album cover of 'Led Zeppelin IV' has finally been unveiled.

There is that "everything can be an album cover" stuff going on. Maybe it's already done and I missed it, because I'm old and not cool anymore. But if you've got a band and this image clicks with you and you'd like to have this as an actual album cover exclusive and for free: Write me!
You'd think after hanging out on public social media with musicians and creative type folks for a few years, I'd run into at least one visual artist that would interested in collaboration. Sadly, no.. #visualart#albumcover#images
