album cover art, no. 6

when i go to amoeba—with or without a mental list of records to look for—i'll walk every aisle of the used rock, and then the new rock. i look left and right as i go, perusing the albums displayed on the shelves above the alphabetized inventory below. sometimes i'll judge an album by its cover and try out a new artist (mostly successful*). sometimes i'll leave amoeba empty-handed save for the satisfaction of seeing the latest explorations in visual/graphic art.  

a couple album covers caught my eye during a recent visit:

the new release from lianne la havas is simple, bold, and stunning all at once. and she's on point with those botanicals on blush!

and this, on the other hand — just serene, with pretty pink and old type, like something you'd find tucked away in your attic. 

see more album covers i've eyed in the past.

*a favorite find: françois virot.
