What does that mean?
Basically it's a process where uncommon shapes are cut into the material. Usually in album cover, the different shapes are cut and the negative space is used to create layers and multiple images. It's more rare to see in such a large production (as PJ would be) bc it's much more expensive to do.

:lol: I assumed it was this

Maybe they wanna avoid all the "the fuck is this load of crap bullsh- oh its kinda cool"

Yes
And it's the only reason we like what's happening. They should never plan anything.

I think Boom's in charge of how this is all being presented. That's why he wasn't in the MYM video, he's hard at work releasing these photos.

This is another super meme from the album: the black, white and red stupid art.

That's not all that different from the cover of the Backspacer LP.

And another question is: will Sirens have any musical similarities to Prince's cover of 'Even Flow'?
