Yeah, this is a rather mixed-up title for a kind of strange review…well, more like an album art face-off. The image below shows the new Get Cape Wear Cape Fly CD Cover for Searching for the Hows and Whys.
Hmmm, weird, yes—but I’ve seen something similar before. The album Voices of Animals and Men by The Young Knives has very similar charactaristics, such as the typographic placement and ‘hollow’ photography (below).
So, I’m thinking, is the album art for Searching for the Hows and Whys a direct inspiration from the Young Knives sleeve? I don’t know. If anyone has an insight on this, please leave a comment.
As a side-note, I do like both of these designs—both just ooze with an alternative-music vibe, and even though they’ve been professionally designed, they also look amateurish—as part of the styling.
Like I said, this isn’t really a review, more of an observation of two similarly-styled CD Covers. While i’m on the subject of The Young Knives, you may want to read my review of the artwork for their single Terra Firma.
