it came out in October 2012 so it would've had to have existed before then

we've ruled out these fonts so far:
-Weiss Std
-Perpetua

Klimes  Suggeriti da Hondo5834 

This looks hand-lettered. Two different 'T's, 'L's, 'R's, four different 'E's.

I think any differences between them are just artifacts(?) of whatever they used to edit the text in there

notice how the O is cut off at the top

Yes, that's certainly possible.

I tried to find a better image, but didn't have much luck, sorry

I have found a better image of the cover:
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/the-oh-hellos/images/c/c3/Through_the_Deep%2C_Dark_Valley-LP.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210619001753

The font is called "KLIMES" by Manfred Klein, you'll have to squeeze it to make it fit, but then it fits perfectly!

that wikia link doesn't work

This is the image shown by Hondo5834 https://the-oh-hellos.fandom.com/wiki/Through_the_Deep,_Dark_Valley?file=Through_the_Deep%252C_Dark_Valley-LP.png

The font used in this image is very different to the font used in the album cover posted by DumbAnimations.

Thanks, Fonatica.

That's why I asked about the link -- I'd found many other images of the CD cover, but they did not use the font shown
in the original post.

Ah ok sorry!
