"no raccoons were harmed during the making of the album artwork"

There's been a slew of album covers being revealed lately, and we would've mentioned The Dodo's album art yesterday if it wasn't as interesting as ex-Pavement member Spiral Stairs aka Scott Kannberg's spazzed out raccoon cover for his new album The Real Feel coming out on October 20.

After a pair of albums under the group nom de plume Preston School Of Industry, Pavement co-founder Scott Kannberg, aka Spiral Stairs, makes his bona fide solo debut with an October 20 LP/CD/digital album release of ‘The Real Feel’ (OLE 858). Following an extended sojourn in Melbourne, Spiral returned to Seattle rejuvenated at the end of ‘08, and commenced recording with a collection of pals including members of PSOI, the Posies, guitarist Ian Moore, Gersey, and Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew. Mixed by the Posies’ Jon Auer, this album is by far the most crafted and introspective of Spiral’s post-Pavement works.
