In 2013 the rise of services like DistroKid led to a proliferation of independent music on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
Distributors like DistroKid allow the artists themselves to assume the role of a music label. Traditionally, one of the responsibilities of the label was to create and design an album cover. Designed covers can feel stale, old, and try-hard.
In a genre that constantly reinvents itself, what do artists do left to their own devices in 2024? They simply use photos of themselves, effectively rejecting the entire premise of an album cover. And that’s harder than anything a label could come up with.

The back of the bar had various large figures on the wall, which I didn’t think much about. I snapped a few shots and posted an image of one. A friend would point out who was in the image, which lead me to discover the life and music of Angenor de Oliveira or Cartola.
An iconic look, so I put together some covers and images that stood out, enjoy…
Some wonderful backstory…
In 1963, eager to bring the favelas’ samba to a broader audience, Cartola — with Zica and Eugênio Agostine — opened the famous Zicartola bar and restaurant in downtown Rio de Janeiro; it became the most important samba establishment of that time, providing a link between the traditional sambistas and the incipient Bossa Nova movement.
— Wikipedia
Related note:
Learning about the sounds of Cartola reminded me of Andre 3000, another iconic look, and his new album New Blue Sun ↗. I especially enjoyed the video music titles by Sally Thurer, and logo by Bráulio Amado. 👏
Shout out to everyone who inspired the post:
Ben Ferman-Lee
Sally Thurer
Joel Evey
Bráulio Amado
Thank you! ;)

We’ve been inspired by the diverse catalog of electronic music coming from IDM and Ambient powerhouse Warp Records (publishing artists from the likes of Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, and LFO). But almost just as cunning are the iconic visuals that pair with them – like the sinister grin on the cover of Richard D. James Album, the blue-washed faceless figures on Music Has The Right to Children, the flesh-like landscape of Autechre’s Amber.
As an exercise in compiling references for ourselves we enjoyed digging through the early Warp catalog to uncover some of their deepest and earliest cuts. Here are some of the most interesting covers we found. :)
