Exactly what I was thinking with the post-apocalyptic vibe. The font on the cover really reminds me of something too, maybe a sci fi book cover or film/TV series title, it's doing my head in.

 

it is avant garde. an EXTREMELY popular typeface.

 

No, it's not - look at the apostrophe and compare it with Avant Garde... it's actually Quicksans Accurate Fill (ICG font), and it looks like the apostrophe is actually the comma:

try typing in "TOMORROW,S HARVEST" note the comma in place of the apostrophe...

Of course, the kerning is adjusted...

did you courier?

good call joyrex

Just remembered all those times people said "what if Warp just released the album in stores without a word". That RSD 12" is the closest they could get to that, pretty cool actually.

I knew it wasn't Avant Garde, I've used that one myself a few times. That Quicksans has definitely been used before on on a film or book cover though, and I will not stop searching until I find you. I will hunt you down. Hunt you down and kill you for taking my daughter.

It's close, but not quite. Look at the C and E, it's definitely Avant Garde!

it's so hard to compare on my phone, but I like modey's answer.

page 11; where they started arguing about fonts

hah, yeah I mean, I'm not even a big BoC fan, but I'll gladly take any opportunity to challenge Joyrex when it comes to design.

ps. I hope this album isn't more hiphop beats over Cluster ripoffs

That's a nice poster - wouldn't mind having one of those either...

I wonder when boardsofcanada.com will be updated (hopefully a brand new site and not just the black square replaced with Tomorrow's Harvest, although I suspect that's what it will be.

You lot might also want to check out watmm.com...
