The Pitchfork-fueled fervor behind Animal Collective’s new Merriweather Post Pavilion album got us thinking about eye-singeing record sleeves—the kind of potential Magic Eye paintings that induce severe migraines in some viewers. Here’s what we came up with, including the freshly-unveiled cover for the Black Lips’ latest LP, 200 Million Thousand. (If you haven’t read it already, here is our cover story on the band from last year as well.)
We’ll keep adding art as we think of more epileptic layouts …
