Your Photoshopped Voltas

Thanks to all who took our Volta Photoshop This! challenge. As always, the graphic designers among you impressed us. Of course we received hundreds of thousands of entries, but sorted out the cream of the crop for your voting consideration. Yes, some people submitted multiple entries, which increases their chances of winning. We never specified one entry per person (oops), so we'll up the prizing and give away Björk's Volta (when it's released) to the top three most lauded artists. Take a gander after the jump, then sound off in the comments. And if you scored an early download of the album, free free to engage in some premature evaluation.

EUGENE

HAPPY TOAST

I've heard the album. It's pretty good -- kinda like "Vespertine" on a caffeine rush.

Lucas's bird somehow makes the most sense. It's got my vote. That includes his Kool-aid man.

Adrian's Potato Head.
Love the album, especially I See Who You Are since I really enjoyed the Drawing Restraint soundtrack. Vertabrae by Vertabrae is pretty solid as well. It's very evocative of a lot of her past work, maybe a tad bit too much. I'll be interested hearing how the CD sounds on a real stereo as opposed to my laptop speakers since she claimed to be going for a "dirtier" sound. The mixes don't seem to be anything special though. Overall I think that it's a solid release that I very much enjoyed. I'll snap it up in a heartbeat.

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)
