The cover art of the upcoming Depeche Mode single "Wrong" is quite... wrong. That is at least what fans have been saying on the well known Depeche fan mailing list Bong. Here are some samples of what the single cover artwork (again designed by Anton Corbijn) evoked on there:
- "To me it looks like cigarettes in an ashtray..."
- "It's really awful... Maybe the worst cover I have seen in DM history ever. I would have done that in PowerPoint (not eve Photoshop or something like that) in less than 5 minutes."
- "Wow, that really sucks. Anton's never been a typographic whiz, but... really? (...) Did Daniel Miller give the order to not even try or something?"
- ...
"Wrong" is the first single from Depeche Mode's twelfth studio album "Sounds Of The Universe" and will be released on April 6th, 2009 (April 7th in North America). The world premiere of "Wrong" will be on the Echo Awards television show in Germany on February 21st. In related news, it's possible that the band will once again be working with Live Here Now in order to get 'official bootlegs' released from the tour. More news as we get it confirmed.
Oh, and here is already a pastiche on the cover artwork...
Order the deluxe boxset of "Sounds of the Universe" at Amazon UK, Amazon US or Amazon Germany.

Posted by: shadow27 on Feb 18, 09 | 3:15 pm Corbijn's no typographic genius? WTF? His work is brilliant. I'm not in love with this cover. But Corbijn's themes tend to extend from cover to video, to live performance. I'm interested to see how this theme carries on throughout the project. |
Posted by: TheRef101 on Feb 18, 09 | 11:14 am It's Anton work remember it always remains to be half finished sit back and watch him illuminate the rest of the project. |
Posted by: Talek on Feb 18, 09 | 10:26 am it's a poor move to slack on album art since it's becoming one of the dominant reasons to buy an actual physical CD these days... |
