Mixtape: Album Cover Maestro & Guest DJ Michael Carney

Working Not Working August 11, 2017

Earlier this week, we featured WNW Member Michael Carney and his design work with The Black Keys and a range of other artists both classic and contemporary. Given his work in the music industry, we figured we'd hit him up for a list of albums we should go check out immediately. Below, we present some songs from those albums, in no particular order. There are some Black Keys tunes off of their LP Brothers and EP Chulahoma, two of the many albums whose covers showcase Carney's craft. There's also some Captain Beefheart that's more washed in blues than acid, some avant-garde Eno, as well as an offering of The Cramps, Serge Gainsbourg, and everything in between.
