• The band members spent three minutes deciding on the front cover. Designer Storm Thorgerson brought seven designs into the Abbey Road studio where they were still recording. “The band trooped in, swept their gaze across the designs, looked at each other, nodded, and said ‘That one,’ pointing at the prism. Took all of three minutes,” Thorgerson recalled in liner notes for the 2011 deluxe box. In an 2003 interview, the designer elaborated, “No amount of cajoling would get them to consider any other contender, nor endure further explanation of the prism, or how exactly it might look. ‘That’s it,’ they said in unison, ‘we’ve got to get back to real work,’ and returned forthwith to the studio upstairs.”

DEATH OF A KING – ULLA VON BRANENBURG

Ulla von Brandenburg’s installation Death of a King highlights the architectural peculiarities of the place while at the same time underlining its role. It evolves on a platform with two levels, and readopts the structure of a skateboard ramp which the visitor is free to explore. A painting on the ground giving a trompe-l’oeil account of a colored, pleated curtain with a Harlequin motif, seemingly escaped from the Commedia dell’Arte, covers the whole surface. Thus a parable about theater emanates from this installation and this space, located between fiction and reality, a sort of sign indicating the start of a story.

COLD WAR KIDS – DEAR MISS LONLEYHEARTS

Cold War Kids have announced a release date for their fourth album Dear Miss Lonelyhearts. The album will be available on April 2, 2013 via Downtown Records.

They’ve recently enlisted former Modest Mouse guitarist Dann Gallucci and Lars Stalfors (Matt & Kim, Funeral Party) to produce.

“We were shaken up, ready to let certain songs go further than before by trying new styles and arrangements, while keeping others sparse and caring more about the finished product and less about how we got there,” says lead singer Nathan Willett.
