CD covers (research)

Weve been doing some research into other bands and cd covers in the same indie genre as the scarlot harlot track that were using. One of the bands I looked at was the hoosiers who are in the same genre and have the same sort of image. the hoosiers album cover is sort of arty as the music on it is more awkward and about more emotional topics, which is why the album is called the illusion of safety which gives an idea of all things being uncertain and that even the good things are just an illusion This idea is portrayed in the album cover as there are bad things happening but then these are covvered over by the things coming out of the characters mouth, which is a good use of imagery.










The other band that we looked at was the fouls and their album called antidotes which also has an arty sort of image and a similar depth through its choice of image as it makes not a lot of sense immediately but then makes the audience think and try to figure it out.
This is good because it engages the audience and also subtly displays the image of someone having colourful and nice things in their mouth but still looking a little bit sad which keeps with the convention of being a bit sceptical and to an extent paranoid about things that seem fairly small.
