It's Neko Case in a mildly suggestive pose on a muscle car. Why are you asking questions?

that Neko Case album cover, for some reason, is an image made of pure win. I think it's the sword, the sword totally makes it.

Hey, I don't think I approve of you all objectifying my third cousin in such a way.

And we can't have a thread about album art without

Shame that 'Captain Love' was a fucking hideous album, though.

Some of the lines are slightly thicker than some of the other lines, basically.

On the squares one, the intersections are thicker, and on the red stripes, there are little bulges in the lines where the words are.

Can't really tell how they did it with the circles or the concentric circles.  Well, I know how, but it's really hard to see.

Ehh...I don't listen to it much, but I don't think it's bad.  It's certainly not as good as Mind Is Not Brain.
