Le Dragon #[nn]

A lone figure in a dark coat stands among bare, silver-birch trees in a hushed winter landscape, peering into a luminous clearing as snow dusts the frozen ground — Bettina Egger's painterly cover for Le Dragon is quietly haunting in the best way. The muted blues and warm golden light filtering through the skeletal branches give this 2012 release from Le Moule-à-Gaufres an almost fairy-tale stillness, full of unspoken tension and mystery.
