Stanley parle de la pochette et du newspaper album.
hunting android:
Stanley Donwood's solo show at Outsiders gallery in London, which opened yesterday, offers a first glimpse of some of the artwork he's created for the new Radiohead album, The King of Limbs...
"There's three new screenprints here and a fucking great big drawing," he says. "This is all from the work that's to do with the record." The artworks are inspired by nature, Donwood goes onto explain, and the northern European heritage of fairy tales and myths based around forests and woods. "It's very much about natural forms. I'd heard something about the northern European imagination, in the sense of all our fairy stories and mythical creatures. They all come from the woods - Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel & Gretel...we've got all these stories and myths.
"Me and Thom were working on these ideas of strange, multi-limbed creatures that are neither malevolent or benevolent, they're simply there, part of the living spirit of the forest. That's come through into all of the work."

For the main cover artwork, he worked in oil for the first time. "It's really, really hard," he says of the medium. "I've only painted with acrylic before, which is bascially coloured mud that dries really quickly. It's very forgiving, but oil paint isn't really. It doesn't dry at all quickly. Eventually, after a lot of disappointment I figured out how to use it. I use it in conjunction with Halfords spray paint, which is the magic ingredient."
Donwood documented the development of the paintings with a high-definition camera, and the resulting images are used on the cover. "I was photographing them throughout the stages, because it takes so bloody long to do them," he says. "Then with these huge digital images, where you can see the weave of the canvas and every brush mark, you can make quite incredible layered pictures."
The special edition is centred around a newspaper Donwood has created. "The last one, In Rainbows, was like a coffee table book. It was this big thing - I felt quite sure that with determination you could probably beat someone to death with it, it was very heavy and hard. So I wanted to do something that was completely different for this. Also, the other thing was the sense of the music not coming to a halt - it was almost like this was kind of a report on its current status. What I like about newspaper is its ephemeral nature, I like the way the paper goes yellow and brittle when you leave it out in the sunlight.
"I wanted to do this thing like a really annoying Sunday paper," he continues, "you know when you buy the paper and all this crap falls out? I wanted to do something really annoying with all these crappy bits of floppy, glossy paper. I was going to do Hoover adverts and get the band to pose with a Hoover, and all that kind of thing. Which was a really dumb idea… so I didn’t do it. It would have been funny, but would have probably dented some reputation they might have… So it evolved into something else."
In addition, the Newspaper Album will feature 625 tiny pieces of artwork, though Donwood refuses to be drawn on what these might be. "I'll keep that as a mystery," he says. "They’re sort of attached to each other but not quite – they kind of are and kind of aren’t. As soon as anyone sees it they’ll know exactly what I’m talking about."

A la lecture de ces explications, j'ai bien peur que le coup du newspaper album ne concerne en fait que 'l'emballage' de la box, et non pas d'un nouveau mode de distribution de morceaux. :spamafote:
"I was going to do Hoover adverts and get the band to pose with a Hoover"

ça ne me rassure pas des masses, j'ai un peu peur d'avoir droit à un objet relativement cheap comparé à la discbox précédente.
j'espère être surpris d'agréable manière.

Pour IR il avait signalé un CD2 (pour ça que je l'avais acheté) - Je pense que s'il y avait des + musiques cela aurait été mentionné :spamafote:
