Very pretty, but also strikes me as rather derivative of classic 4AD cover designs.
Hm not sure I’d agree, but judging by your Mortal Coil reference you’re a 4AD fan!
Jinsai’s right, I do love those 4AD covers, but I reckon this one is more of an unwitting tribute to Saville’s FAC designs, particularly “Closer”… Thanks for the feature, Colin.
