Maybe I’m just a luddite, but I still treasure the tactile experience that accompanies listening to an album- pulling the vinyl/tape/cd out, pouring over the artwork and liner notes, dropping the needle, flipping the record/tape, etc., etc. I mean look at the packaging for Liars’ new album Sisterworld. It’s beautiful! Don’t you want to hold it?! Expand and collapse it like a slinky?! You can’t put your arms around an mp3!

Seriously though, I’ve come to expect nothing less than amazing when designed by Hand Held Heart.

Sisterworld is out today!
