Year of the Black Album Cover: A 2013 Chitchat Addendum

In our previous post, Kyle made the excellent point that a number of albums released in 2013 by prominent electronic artists had near-entirely or predominantly black cover art. Then he illustrated that point with a sweet four-square collage. Then we finished the chat. It was good times. Then, after those good times were gone, we started to remember some other album covers we had somehow forgotten about, and we realized the good times weren't quite over yet...dig it:

Then we remembered that there were a number of other examples from recording artists in other genres...

Fine, that last one maybe wasn't released last year. However, this big bunch of bananas doesn't even include albums with quite-black cover art by Night Beds, Jon Hopkins, Danny Brown, DJ Rashad, Midlake, Mazzy Star, Au Revoir Simone, King Krule, and Kidz Bop favorite, Lorde. Amongst surely dozens of others that we are now simply too bored of this exercise to dig up. 

So: what's going to be the big album cover color of 2014? Think pink, y'all. Diarrhea Planet are already ahead of the game...
