Album cover: Tortoise’s TNT

Yesterday’s post, Robert Frank’s French first edition of The Americans, reminded me of the cover for Tortoise’s 1998 album, TNT. In a similar vein to Saul Steinberg’s sketch, the cover of TNT is a doodle made by one of the band members on the cover of a blank CD-R cover. Genius. Good album too.
