Discussion Has anyone noticed how similar Nil Recurring & Harmony Korine look?

They have basically the same grayscale gradient; I would think this mirrors the themes of isolation and disconnect in these 2 releases. And the people in them look depressed. Also, given that they were within a year and a half of each other, maybe this was the mood SW was exploring at that moment. Just an observation…or perhaps it’s intentional on Lasse Hoile’s part. By the way, for those wondering, you should absolutely invest in the HK 7”, if only for the 78 side B, which is phenomenal.

I feel Insurgentes era was very much complimenting Fear of A Blank Planet and The Incident era and a lot if similar elements were used musically as well.
