Mount Kimbie - Cold Spring Fault Less Youth artwork by Leif Podhajsky

With that amazing Horrors box set recently unveiled plus an archive of visual material for names like Foals, Bonobo and Tame Impala, Aussie artist Leif Podhajsky's kaleidoscopic view of the world is well established. However his latest imagery for Mount Kimbie's upcoming long-player takes a more restrained graphic, almost mid-century approach yet it simultaneously appears to nod towards Matisse's collage work and, pioneer of the album cover, Alex Steinweiss. So while Podhajsky's more psychedelic offerings will continue to thrill, it's great to see the arrival of this other, cleaner but equally intriguing aesthetic.

The new album from, Perth-based psychedelic rockers, Tame Impala features artwork, once again, from Leif Podhajsky. Following his previous sleeves for the band, this latest [coming after the 'Apocalypse Dreams' single and, debut album, Innerspeaker] is in collaboration with, frontman, Kevin Parker.

Interestingly, the Modular label has also chosen this point to crowdsource ideas about what should constitute a future deluxe version of the release. Defining this process as 'choosing your own adventure', the company asks:

"Do you want a bonus rare seven inch? Do you want a poster of some gazelles? Do you want a lock of Kev's hair?"

Answers can be submitted here. "All genuine offers will be considered."
