New for 2024

[cannibals]

Looking at Guy's forum on my question about the artwork for the new album and his reply makes me wonder..... i just think the new album is not coming anytime soon....

But why? His answer actually makes sense. Album artwork is created by designers, and not MK or GF. They can provide the idea, but certainly not do the job!

Good point but it's just a feeling. This is all taking to long. Perhaps the question should have been if the artwork was already done. Although i must say i don't know how long this takes. Weeks, months?

The artwork is part of the process that never ever had anything to do with Guy so his answer doesn't mean anything really.

That's a part of the process that runs most of the time simultaneously and it's run by another team, and in which MK has a said, approve or refuse. With DTRW MK refused the work presented by Salvador Lavado Design and suggested to use the picture of the road that was used in the end.

Probably while they are ending the mix in order to be sent to mastering, someone else is working or already has a project for the design of the cover and maybe is already approved or rejected, but this is something we usually don't know as our source is usually Guy, and he's not involved in that.

I remember a rejected idea

Thanks for the info on this subject

In mid-September 2018, we saw the cover and tracklist of Down The Road Wherever. The album was released on November 16.

Maybe the strategy of the new album will be similar

Where can one find such things or just go to places like Amazon and look for new album Mark Knopfler??

I don't know why I didn't notice it before. New MK album also has Polish accents and that's very important to me. Tamsin and Emma Topolski sing on the album

I don't know how to get rid of man moobs full details inside why I didn't notice it before. New MK album also has Polish accents and that's very important to me. Tamsin and Emma Topolski sing on the album

That's great to know.
Tamsin and Emma Topolski both are my favorite.

It is still looking good for an autumn release then.

I don't think so.
My first guess was month ago: Release maybe March 2024.
I hope I am wrong but my second favourite Joe Bonamassa just released his second single
of his new album and that will be released in October....
So I don't see MK's album in November. Maybe beacuse of the wait time with the Vinyl Box Set with the Madrid 2001 Blu_ray
hehehehe

Thanks for posting Salvador's rejected artwork, Robson.

While I always thought that the front cover for Down the Road Wherever was a dull cliché (unlike the snow-covered road on the back, which I would have preferred), I can see why they rejected Salvador's proposal. It looks like poorly done Kula Shaker artwork and doesn't seem to have any connection to the songs on the album.

Let's hope he'll give the job to a really good designer this time. There are plenty of them.

Maybe a John Bratby painting for the second time. "Watching TV" is on the British Grove wall
