Is Whistla's album cover already the worst of the year?

UK producer Whistla, who you likely know best from his coinage of “future garage” (chronicled here in an interview with Martin Clark), has announced his debut album.

Titled Enter the Swivel, it’s twelve tracks long and will be released on Whistla’s own digital label L2S. As has been roundly pointed out on Twitter over the last couple of days, it also sports one of 2012’s naffest sleeves – when you consider that future garage was, in many ways, pushed as a reaction to dubstep’s increasing obsession with Big Drops for the Lads (brilliantly compared to a facial by Ikonika in this interview with FACT), the “Mala of future garage” draping his label’s logo over a pair of inflated computer-generated tits probably isn’t the smartest move.

But at least she’s got an iPad and an oversized pair of headphones on, so she’s not a bimbo or anything. Regarding the title of this article, there may well have been worse sleeves released this year – that’s what the comments section is for. Let’s hear ’em.

Enter the Swivel will be released on May 7.
