KK Slider takes over the real-world music scene

Animal Crossing fans have been recreating album covers featuring the series very own star with a guitar, KK Slider. 

The amazing fanart has been flooding my Twitter feed over the past few days, with the famous dog from the series appearing on album covers from a whole host of bands. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can pick up various songs to play on whatever adorable little stereo or vinyl player you can get a hold of to go on your island. But you can also use the songs to decorate the walls of your abode, with cute album covers featuring KK along with some other familiar faces. 

The album artwork for the in-game songs is such a fantastic little detail, and it's been so fun to see KK slide his way (sorry) onto real album covers. My personal favourite is the song Stale Cupcakes, which shows KK Slider looking up at the track name in a very artsy style that I'd happily display in my home in reality. 

So without further ado, here are some of the highlights of the amazing fan art recreations of various album covers featuring KK Slider. 

There are so many amazing recreations doing the rounds, it was hard to cut it down to the above. KK Slider truly is a gift to us all and seeing all of the wonderful fanart album covers featuring the famous dog is such a treat.

Setting up your own island? Here are all of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons tips you need.

Senior staff writer

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
