Hipgnosis demystified!
Listen to the episode called “Will Album Covers Ever Be This Good Again?” on the Soundcheck podcast by WYNC. It’s a fantastic interview with Hipgnosis, the surreal design team that created some of the best album covers of all time.
It’s a fascinating interview with stories and insights behind the design team that as a kid seemed to be in some far away world of mystery and surrealism. Great listening:
