The cover image Kele’s crew affixed to the rush-released version of Intimacy stood in stark contrast to the album’s title. At the time I thought maybe the band was dealing in irony. Now I’m thinking they are just having fun with the internet news cycle some more. So say hello to the new look of Intimacy, which accompanies the album’s physical format, out in a month (10/27 in the UK via Witchita, 10/28 in the US via Atlantic). If you already have it in your iTunes, click the post title for the big version and save away.
And as EnchantingWizardOfRhythm notes, the cover’s also an homage to My Bloody Valentine’s Glider EP cover. The side-by-side:
MBV, so hott right now.

Wrong blog……………. ah, whatevs.
in case they need a shirt idea to “borrow” from as well..
Where is the line between “homage” and “blatant rip-off?”
Well, it certainly fits the cd: it’s extremely sexual and makes me a little uncomfortable.
I don’t know why,, but the first time I saw it it looked like a bluury caricature statue of a good looking woman. It took me till three views to find out it was a pair of kissing lips. Did you notice that?
