The bold block lettering says “army,” the words toppling over each other indicates the fragility. And the flock of seagulls is … DeLaughter having a laugh? Maybe. TVT releases The Fragile Army on June 19th. Check the entire record in a mashed-up übertune here, and pore over Polyphonic’s Photoshopping skills below. Don’t worry about their old robes; Björk’s brass section is putting ‘em to good use.
UPDATE: Thanks to our astute commenters , we’ve got the REAL cover after the jump, in all its Aquafresh glory. (This was the old.) Never has an army had such minty fresh breath.
The Fragile Army is out 6/19 on TVT.

the cover resembles a failed poster for the USA series the 4400
that album art is truly horrendous.
zombies!
This is actually not the album cover. If you check the TVT website, they replaced the brown background with red, white, and blue stripes and it looks a lot more appealing. The lettering still reminds me of WordArt though….
The full-size version of the cover can be seen at Amazon.com!

Post that one. It’s way better.
are you kiddin me?
oyyy….the real album cover is very painful for my eyes…
This album leaked, where is it???
The TVT art department is the most untalented design hacks. All the proof I need is in their god-awful work on Guided by Voices Do the Collapse. This is an improvment believe me
This makes me want a rocket pop. I Like!
those letters are hideous
This album art makes me sad that I even live in the same town as this band.
Both versions were painfully disappointing…
PLEASE hire some better graphic designers!
Where have all of the Comm Design majors gone when we need them most?!
hey! nice editing! try “pore over”, although the other way works for me
wow, this sucks….I’m a graphic designer, who used to live in Dallas, and I’ve actually contacted the guys at Good Records before based on their terrible choice of font for their newsletters. but this…..
I guess if you look at their track record of album covers (including Tripping Daisy) there are only one or two decent ones in there…
I like it!
Opinions are great. I think it’s a pretty cool cover actually.
The album leaked a few days ago. It is indeed awesome. Better than the last album and maybe better that The Beginning Stages Of…
Also, who the fuck cares what the cover looks like? It could be a picture of an asshole recently reamed by a horse cock and as long as the music was good I’d love it.
hey where is the leak
i would love it if some one cool email me a website or the album bnewman16@gmail.com
thanks!
