Coconut Records' Album Art

Last month Coconut Records released its sophomore album entitled Davy. The cover shows musician Jason Schwartzman's face rising from a body of water. The text looks like Times New Roman and photograph is kept plain, except for the doodle effect on Schwartzman's face. Indie music authority, Pitchfork Media said, "It's etched with spidery white lines like someone's used it as a scratch pad." I think it looks like someone had a little fun with the Paintbrush tool on Illustrator.


The little trees and squiggles look hand-drawn, giving the cover a personal, folk-arty feel. These can be seen more clearly on the cover of the album's single, Microphone, where Jason's picture is replaced by a flat background.
