I have no idea what sort of collaboration or input Simon Shack had in the Artists interpretation of his music, in regards to the album cover for his new release. It is very intriguing , very unusual and I like it very much.
If Simon had no input then I’m just waffling.
If he did?
I see the earth at the centre and I see a considerable gravitational pull towards the earth. Is the snowman the cold vacuum? Is the bear constellations? Are the planets closer than we think? Intriguing. 
Light but no heat? Are the bubbles warm? The melting head would make it seem so.
It’s a melting snowman smoking a pipe , holding a lantern, riding a polar bear.
What could be clearer than that ? Does this not sum up the very essence of existence ?
The polar bears’ arse, your chariot, has blown then Tom. Can’t be good.
Is the polar bears compass headgear linked to the emerald green globe nose. Is that linked to the ruby red globe at the bottom of the Dr Seuss tube? Probably none of the sort and probably best analysed on shrooms
I like it.
I look forward to Simons model and wish him the best of luck with his new album and if he reads this, congratulations to the artist. Although the music is not my cup of tea, I will buy the album.
If I ever get round to making a fakery video requiring a soundtrack, I’m safe for copyright.
Yes, I think there’s some good sounds on this one. Some cool grooves ideal for movie.
I don’t get the cover. For a researcher with great attention to detail I’d expect him to have had some input. What’s the cover supposed to say, if anything. I guess I could ask him.
Dear Vespa and Tom! You can’t imagine how loud I laughed reading your above ‘cosmic conjectures’ about my band’s new album cover (no offense intended whatsoever – on the contrary!) As it is, it sure was a pretty crazy ‘serendipity’ of sorts when Emilia Holm-Rubaek (my Danish cousin’s daughter – and the author of the album cover’s artwork) and her gorgeous family came to visit me in Rome last year (as I was deep into my cosmic research – as well as recording the first songs of “Songs in Vacuum”). When Emilia pulled out of her bag the gift she had brought me (namely, that “cosmic snowman drawing”) I almost fell off my chair ! She had no idea that I was researching the cosmos – and so, once I told her about it, we all laughed together and toasted at how perfect that gift of hers was! Please know that I haven’t altered a SINGLE pixel of the scanned version of her drawing – which I used for the album cover, of course with her consent (she says now she’s ‘gone wild’ about the album’s tracks – which of course makes me jolly happy! All this to say that… NO, there’s no “hidden message” of mine in that album cover artwork.
For your viewing pleasure, here’s the gorgeous Rubaek family – all of them artistically talented (including their father / husband who is missing from this picture) :

Ha! Serendipity indeed Simon.
Congratulations also to Mum and Dad on the ” works of art ” they produced together.
Dear Simon, thanks for explaining. hehe, funny.
Vespa even put up a thumbnail of the ‘spinning planet’ in the chat which we analysed. At least we showed interest. Haha. Nice grooves!
