This is the cover for Devendra Banhart's upcoming CD: Cover

Yes, it looks like a mountain-man version of Sgt. Pepper. But look up in the tree. Am I right in thinking that mask was invented for Sandman? Or are both masks tapping into an earlier design?

nah...its similar, but not the same design... and you need to come to World's End, because i didn't know Devendra Banhart had an album coming out and i need people to tell me important things like this (also Joanna Newsom albums)

however, Neil might have got the idea for Dream from a Beatles album:

It looks to me more like a crow's skull, and if I'm not mistaken it has skeletal bird wings, so that's probably the image intended.

Oh geez, I just leaned in closer to the screen. See, I thought that whole area between the branches was part of the mask. The wings would be the base of the mask's cranium. Hrm, maybe a 1400x1050 resolution is too high for a laptop.

yeah... i don't see the resemblance

that said, i heartily recommend Devendra Banhart... he's like being wrapped up in a soft wonderful blanket with odd patterns on it in front of a fireplace

and Joanna Newsom's just wonderful...
