Favorite new album cover art of 2025
A new category for this year is favorite album cover art. Figured since there will be a grammy for this, this blog’s two cents worth should be thrown into the mix. So here are my favorites from 2025. Hope you enjoy these images. So often, like music itself, album art is a personal choice in style and focus. Peace and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

All Washed Up by Cheap Trick:
Who cares if they’ve been around for a half-century, this whimsical album cover says it all both in its title and the hilarious image. Each of the four washing machines is personalized to epitomize each the four (4) band members from guitarist and lyricist Rick Nielsen’s checker-flagged fashions to a soapy “Z” for lead singer Robin Zander in the second machine onward. Hey, and the new music is pretty damn good too. Well done!

As I Watch My Life Online by Late Night Drive Home:
In our dystopianesque world of digital addictions or constant doom-scrolling, texting, and video posting, this album cover says it all…as do the tracks on the album. When you get to the point when you are scrolling online in the shower…something’s truly amiss.

Fall Back EP by Florence Road:
Love the surreal and hypnotic feel of this cover art. It is memorizing without being dark or sinister — just the four band members crossing the Irish countryside with an abstract background image mixing shades of sky, clouds, and fog in a unique and comforting pattern.

Billboard Heart by Deep Sea Diver:
A shimmering wall of red filaments floating effortlessly above a coastline against a blue sky horizon. Like a billboard, the filaments would be hard to miss and the red links it to our hearts.

Salt of the Lee EP by Cliffords:
For a band coming from the seacoast city of Cork, Ireland, this image of a seafarers’ weather vane is a perfect reflection of home and the essence of this historic city.

Altar by NewDad:
The gothic-style house on the cover was built during the recording of the band’s Safe EP from early 2025 and continued/completed construction during the creation of the Altar album and the videos for each song. Given the Altar album includes several songs reflecting the band’s homesickness after moving from Galway, Ireland to London, the cover may also reflect an image of their home town.

Welcome To My Blue Sky by Momma:
A cover that reflects the linkages between the two female founders of the band and their importance to one another. Simple, yet still symbolic.
