Glad we finally have something!
I do think the art and font is really uninspired.. It almost looks like something that was made via a mobile app. Maybe they will polish it up like they did when Tracker was first announced.

All that aside, it's the music that matters of course, can't wait! Maybe when they will officially announce it, we will get a new single?

I like the cover.. but as wespresso says it’s the music that matters :)

I get a little “Ragpickers Dream” feeling by it for some reason.. Don’t know why..

Perhaps we will get a single soon :)

Yes, it's music inside what is worth :)

Looking forward to the single and tracklist...

And by the way... From where that landscape would be? US?

Down the road wherever ...

Worst album title so far since 1978. The opposite of original or inspired. Could be Eagles, Springsteen, Lynyrd Skynyrd stuff ... really, Cullercoats would have been so much more "Mark"..
 
I would bet MK or Kitty took the picture.   Maybe there is a nice story to it. I like the fresh colours and the font. Thanks for the find.
I have no idea how you guys are doing it.

I hate it but I have to agree. I know people will throw rotten tomatoes at us, after all so much waiting and stuff. But how generic is all that. The word "generic" is the word that comes to mind after seeng this. As generic as all these obituaries "written by Mark".

But having said that all, Mark seems to design the albums himself nowadays. And being a genius songwriter doesn't mean being a genius designer, so that's fair I guess. Sorry to all the people who can't stand a point of view that's not all praise.

Excuse me for liking it
I like it also don't worry... Finally the info came out .. Great. Enjoy your sunday.

It is basically the tracker cover shot with a road in the middle that Mark probably used to disappear  ;D  ;D  ;D

Anyone else did zoom over the picture looking for MK in the far far of the road?

LOL

The cover... Could it be a part of the road between his country house in the New Forest and London, and the title being related with the travels from one place to the other and also being in the road wherever when on tour?

I recall MK telling that when on tour by bus with Dylan he wrote some songs, one of them being "silver eagle"...

The album cover could indeed be a picture that Mark or Kitty took. Looking at the mountains and sky it looks no polarizing and/or grey filter was used.

The album title feels a bit unnatural to me. English isn't my native language, but 'Down the road to wherever' or 'Down the road wherever ...' makes more sense to me.

I understand it like a generic answer, like he's in a conversation:

- I'm going down the road
- where?
- wherever

This site says 16 november... lets hope its 2 november ;D
One of the two Vinyl products also says, 3 LPs.
What's that about?

16 November makes more sense with the two months announcement in advance rule...

Three lps is maybe a special edition in LP as well?

If the special edition has some bonus tracks, maybe the third LP has that bonus tracks too
