Pet Shop Boys

Pet Shop Boys have been cranking out some amazing modernist CD packages for as long as they've been around. Here are some relatively new ones I haven't seen.

Check out their website for more visual stimulation AND lots and lots of free PSB music:

Keith Hayes - Christine Falls

I have to say, this green is kinda hot. Oh I get it! It takes place in Ireland:

Quirke, an alcoholic, angry and acerbic coroner, drags himself into solving the mystery of Christine Falls's death in childbirth and the disappearance of her newborn. The novel is set in 1950s Dublin and Boston. Sounds happy!

I know this has been out for a while, but it's still one of my favorite jackets of all time. Check out Peter Mendelsund's site for more amazing design.
