Altogether, this forms the whole concept of the album, a surreal, late-night convenience store with nostalgic items and design, not grounded in space or time, possibly taking the listener or visitor as a prisoner.

The album cover as a whole is a landscape photograph in the Sahara desert. On the front, several large red-orange balls are placed in the sand, with long shadows as the sun sets. The balls move away from the viewer, rising and falling over the terrain and into the horizon.

One of my favorite ambient artists, Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill is so wonderful, it's like phasing between a dream and reality. Some interesting covers, fairly abstract with the A I A covers.

When all 3 albums are placed next to each other, you may notice that all 3 covers combine to spell out their names horizontally, in order. Watsky shared that he and his friend built a scriptto find 3 words that work this way, and built his next 3 albums around these words.

Watsky, Intention (2023)
The final album is Intention (2023), which released slightly more than two years ago. When the album was initially released, it was a 9 track LP just like the other albums, but shortly after was revealed to have 9 more track, unlocked after completing an online puzzle.

Watsky, Placement (2020)
The second album is Placement, another 9 track LP that's a bit more youthful and fun compared to Complaint. Topics for this album include youth, politics, and living despite facing hardships and suicidal thoughts.

Watsky, Complaint (2019)
The first album of the trilogy is Complaint, a 9 track LP that displayed a more pop and indie influence compared to Watsky's earlier work. The album is lyrically darker and slower too, discussing topics like love, insecurity and solidarity among the sad.

Squid, Cowards (February 7)
A experimental post-punk & rock LP. Evocative with just a few elements. There's also great movement as the eye follows the stinger across the composition. Love it despite the somewhat painful imagery.

Mogwai, The Bad Fire (January 24)
A warm and psychedelic punk LP. The cover is punky and colorful, with a cool MOGWAI type cut off on top and bottom.

flipturn, Burnout Days (January 24)
A happy indie rock LP. On the cover is a figure either being impaled or releasing a beam of stars from the chest, with a sort of colored-pencil or crayon style that feels youthful, bright and energetic.

Orkun A. Spirit Frequencies (January 1)
A dreamy ambient LP. The cover features 12 beautiful abstract shapes that match the flowy nature of the lush ambient pads that form the base of the tracks.

clipping. album covers historically lean abstract and simple, and this is no exception, though this cover feels a little more detailed. There is an additional vinyl edition available: Loser Edition with a pink insect on the cover and pink, green or silver record.
