White Lies: Big TV
Remembering Benjamin Curtis and Phil Everly, White Lies’ album art, Afrika Bambaataa and more in music this week
With vinyl sales reportedly up 33% in 2013 (according to Billboard), the increasingly popular, resurrected medium has become not only an analog way to enjoy music, but a chance for visual artists of all sorts to show off their talents to a potential new audience with enticing cover art. 2013’s Best Art Vinyl award goes to NYC-based painter Michael Kagan for “Pilot 2″—a 2010 work borrowed by London-based trio White Lies for their equally rocket-fueled album Big TV.
