The Shins "Port of Morrow"

The Shins have been one of my favorite bands for awhile now. When their latest album Port of Morrow came out last year, I listened to it repeatedly. Though the art on the album cover is interesting, the back is what really caught my attention. It consists of a series of warped ovals that seem to resemble pebbles, an idea further pushed by the distressed aspect and speckles throughout the back cover. The songs are all listed, one on each pebble, which I found really interesting because most albums list the songs in the same, ordinary way. I really love the arrangement of the back and the simple color scheme.
