Yesterday we got a 50% peek at the first single from Jimmy Eat World’s first record in three years. (Later we learned you could stream the whole thing here.) Today the JEW news revolves around the forthcoming LP’s album art which, if we’re not mistaken, doesn’t bear much relationship to its title Chase This Light. Probably just aren’t smart enough to get those crazy globe munchers. Check it…
Peacock feather? Like XTC! And probably a thousand other fine-feathered covers that aren’t coming to mind right now.
Chase This Light is out 10/16 on Interscope.

blink.
Pretty, but so what?
And yeah, Andy Partridge did it better.
DwD
best album art i’ve seen lately.
if i remember correctly, the cover of Futures was a phonebox
the only way is up!
This is UGLY album artwork.
The artwork they have for the Casino single itself (you can see it on Myspace) is much better and should have been used for the album itself. Too bad.
Its no doubt a good one. Whatever you have suggested that is not wrong but, the art is not bad in any sense at all.
Can anyone say Dixie Chicks?
makes me think of andrew bird. which is always good.
clarity = best album ever
Can anyone say XTC “Apple Venus Vol. 1″?
Maybe I should read the whole post first?
i actually kinda like this
Is it wrong to prefer the single as it is on the Myspace? I mean, the first half with the guitars and stuff is fine, but that phased-out synthy bit with the stilted robot lady voice is cool as all heck. And i am not joking.
It looks like a color-pencil take on the Pearl Jam avocado. And that’s not too exciting.
I agree with jakem, the “Big Casino” art is far too cool.
Is this the famous “Firecrotch” I hear so much about?
Uhh, is everybody just stupid or can nobody see that the peacock feather is like a candle flame? Wow.
Jimmy Eat world diserves a Grammy for this one!! I’m not joking! Easily the best Album this year let alone in the Rock Genre!
Whats up with the bird symbol on the inside? anyone know its meaning? And to all those complaining about the cover, check out all their album covers, they always try not to make a big deal of it. Thats always been there thing and what they are all about…
Like Andrew above said. It is supposed to represent a red tipped match that is lit. But shown in a unique different kind of way. If you own the album just look at the back and that’s exactly what the cover is showing, but in a more beautiful and standing out kind of way!!
