Looks like Century Schoolbook mixed with Western.
Typical asymmetrical A slab. The E is less common too. Curved inner T.
Can't find it among Western fonts and thousands of slab serif fonts...

Can ya help me?

It was probably set with a font and then distorted, but with this amount of distortion, identifying the underlying font is just extremely hard.

If I were tasked with recreating that look I would select an appropriate font, most likely a Clarendon, perhaps Medium or Bold, convert it to outlines, add the top serif on the /A, stretch it vertically, then distort it in Illustrator (preferably) or Photoshop.

The album cover uses Iconian’s Mrs. Monster for the band’s name (Kings of Hong Kong), but so far I haven’t found the album title typeface among Iconian’s offerings.

Some similars:
