If all packaging looked like this, I'd buy more stuff.

If you haven't heard of HBO's Flight of the Conchords, hear it now. Their new album is out and, well, I knew the music enclosed was excellent, but the album artwork, printing, layout, etc. far exceeded my expectations... STUNNING. The illustration is gorgeous & the die-cutting is intricate, well-conceived & well-crafted.

If you like laughing and you like owning beautiful objects made out of paper, then BUY THIS NOW. Don't make the mistake of buying this album off of iTunes or pirating it off the internet. That would be a complete waste of some brilliant design & print production.

And, don't you like giving money to talented people who deserve it?

I do.

NOTE: Thanks to Jw for letting me know who the illustrator for this piece is --> Tyler Stout... check out more of his work here.

I just got the entire first season on DVD! I'm beyond excited and I love how their creativity even spills over to the cool packaging!

COOL ARTWORK! Now that I'm mainly an itunes girl I don't get to handle real tangible album artwork anymore

I love their show! Business socks is my fave

I didn't think I could love them any more!! Must go buy!

Sigh, I tried to get tickets to their Chicago Theatre show. But, alas, sold out super quick!

If you're interested in the illustrator for this album, his name is Tyler Stout, and the rest of his stuff is fantastic too.

That is awesome! I must have it. I'm seeing them live on May 5th, so hopefully they'll have some for sale there!
