Not quite feeling it. It's a little too minimal for my taste, and reminds me of some new wave record cover of the early 80's or something.

I really like the typographic covers for "The Bells" and "Boy Boy Boy", but i think the leafprints for "Beautiful Burnout" and "Crocodile" are my faves of the set. This latest stylistically doesn't go with any of them.

This artwork is highly derivative of Russian Contstructivism, a movement I've always had a fondness for.

You can see some samples here from El Lissitzky.

haha 80's retro thats why I like it

tbh - i've had my fill of typographic covers now from Tomato - not that i don't like them - and i really adore 'the bells' cover, but i like this new move to something different and font stye on the ring road single...

it's kinda styled like Duran Duran from around the Rio era - now where's Karl in white slip ons on a boat when you need him?

in fact its like this one - http://www.discogs.com/image/R-137594-001.jpg
