In addition to making some of the most enthralling, sublimely textured dream rock imaginable, the guys from Fell also have a knack for producing some of the most eye-grabbing fliers. This one, in particular, is pretty mesmerizing. We haven’t the remotest idea what sort of creature is being depicted here,…

Yeah, I know we already had a flier of the week, on Tuesday (and a kick-ass flier it was, too). I also realize the show this flier is advertising is already over, as of last night. But I absolutely could not resist giving this flier some props. It’s awesome. I…

I pretty much fell in love with the pop-art styled hippy/hottie take on Shiva (I think that’s Shiva — my Hindu mythology is a little shaky) on this U.S. Pipe CD release poster the second I saw it. The style, the subject matter, the detail — all brilliant! Good to…
