You’ve seen the 16 track titles, heard 2 studio cuts, and admired Win Butler’s singularly awesome alt-mullet. Now behold (above) all 8 album covers that will grace LP3. (H/T CoS.) Don’t view it as a sales gimmick: buyers will inevitably be listening to LP3 digitally, and no one collects .jpgs. It is an artistic statement! About suburbia! (?)
The Suburbs is out 8/2 in the UK and 8/2 in the US via Merge/Canada via AF’s Sonovox label. As we reported yesterday, the band is raising money for Haiti’s disaster relief by matching fan donations to the KANPE fund up to one million dollars. Text STAND to 30333 to pitch in 5 bucks. Then do it again and again.

I really, really like what this band is doing. It’s cool that they seem pretty humble.
love the thrid one from the left of the top row…the others i’m not too impressed with…i feel like the designer just couldn’t make up his mind so they turned it into a gimmick
third*
I like that one… and that one… and that one… and that one… etc..
I’m pretty sure all they did to make the third one on the top is paste the car onto the cover of The Wren’s ‘Meadowlands’.
wrong
I wasn’t being serious. I’m just pointing out that they look similar.
Personally, I doubt this album will even aproach the greatness of The Meadowlands as far as the music is concerned.
