IRON & WINE / 
THE SEA & THE RHYTHM

....

...SO pretty.

Iron & Wine is singer-songwriter Samuel Beam, and I have completely fallen for the cover design of this 2003 release.

It's so beautifully sensual, I just want to touch it. In a world of too-flashy and overly obvious album covers that are all trying to sell music in an industry that's slowly fading, the quietness and intimacy of this cover seems to speak the loudest.

By the way, those water stains are part of the design.

It was designed by Jesse LeDoux, who also does some VERY cool illustration that happens to be drastically different from the feeling that this cover exudes. 

Lastly, here's another favorite Iron & Wine cover.
