MGMT — Little Dark Age album and singles
The album’s cover art features an illustration by Jim Taber originally created for the Witness to the Bizarre zine volume 1 released in 1988.
Connecticut rock band MGMT are releasing their fourth studio album Little Dark Age February 9th, 2018. The band’s name on the cover is set in Pretorian. The album’s title is abbreviated to “LDA”, shown in stacked caps from Eckmann.
The title track was the first single to be released (17 Oct 2017) and already featured both typefaces.
The second single When You Die (12 Dec 2017) however used Blackmoor for the band’s name and Gutenberg Textura for the title.
Hand It Over (5 Jan 2018) is the third single from the upcoming album. It brought back the main typeface choices. The painting is Edvard Munch’s Self-Portrait With a Bottle of Wine from 1906.
The font combination from the album cover can also be found on accompanying merchandise. Here the caps from Pretorian are arranged vertically, too.
