Regarding the artwork Joolz wrote:
"Some people seem confused as to what or whom the figures I painted for the latest New Model Army album, Between Wine & Blood, might represent. Many of you will know that for over 40 years I have studied various spiritual paths and practices, especially very ancient ones, purely out of interest and because it was also a lifetime interest of my late father. The male figures in the paintings represent tribal shamen - a priest if you like - channelling the animals the tribe will be hunting in order to ensure a successful hunt and trance dancers who add their energy to that channelling thus aiding the shamen. There are two shamen figures, one of them a tribal chieftain or king who is also functioning as a shaman. The female figures are warriors, and a priestess of the Goddess and her hand maidens. I endeavoured to reinterpret the Neolithic styled figures of Herne The Hunter & The Herlathing (The Wild Hunt) and the totem animals of the previous album, Between Dog & Wolf, in a more earthy and human way, to evoke a Summoning of the Spirit something New Model Army concerts themselves often evoke. A very great deal of thought and time go into New Model Army covers aside from the actual painting itself and I am always happy to answer anyone's questions about them. Or feel free to interpret them in your own way. All art is subjective"

So - I've only seen the front cover. Any chance we'll get to see more of the artwork before the release?
Anna - Was this a facebook post?
-
The rest of the artwork is on her (Joolz) FB and twitter pages, I believe. I think you can see it on twitter even if you don't have an account. FB is crap and won't allow it.

Thanks - Yes would make a great set of prints. Going to be a fine looking vinyl package. I hope that's what I bought. I wonder if we can expect a surprise email informing us that we get a free download (like the last time)?

And there I go bashing FB for no reason then. :-[
I seriously thought that FB did not allow non-members to read the pages. I have no idea why. :)
