Take Cover: Freelance Whales' Weathervanes

In honor of the forthcoming CD, we're adding patchwork pieces to our closets

In the age of iTunes, an album’s cover art can often go unnoticed. We took Grace Coddington’s advice about finding inspiration everywhere to heart with a fresh approach to sonic-inspired style. In Venus Zine's new regular column, Take Cover, you'll find our fashion-obsessed version of liner notes.

I am interested in MORE fashion. I also would like to see more PICTURES (if the magazine can get its website to work properly)
