They are an indie band with a similar sound to that of the rifles. When looking at album covers we can consider heirs to look at other bands ideas. We can also use this to judge what we like and don't when designing our own digipack. A different kind of fix, the fist one shows what looks like two different people looking at each other and different shapes or plants representing their brains. I believe this is to represent the way in which different people thing and that we are all different and individual. We can see with both the first and second album covers that the band name is clearly displayed and obvious to see. In 1,2, and 3 it is clear what the album name is. This makes the cover more recognizable for the fan. The 4th cover however does not feature either the band name or album title. This makes the album quite hard to distinguish as a BBC album. All of the albums are quite diverse and distinguishable from regular album covers, they are all quite arty and different, especially the fourth one, which is quite dark mysterious picture of a girl who looks quite lost and messy. This might be to do with the change in sound of the band, they have become a lot more upbeat since the first album.
Foals
The first two album covers shown below are quite similar. They are both water based both strongly stand out, although there is a lot of dark colors in the first the sunlight in the sky makes the album cover very bold. Sunlight is key in both album covers. We see the sun coming through the water onto the swimmers which are the focus of the picture. In both albums we can see exactly what the album name and band name are, this makes the band extremely recognizable to the audience. The 3rd album cover shows a completely different style of cover. We do not see the band name or album name in the same font, it is a lot more arty and unclear than the other two bulk font albums. We also see quite a dull album cover of a boy looking past the camera. The picture would be quite dull if i wasn't for the boys mouth which is covered in what appears to be sweets or just general colors, it is unclear as to what the cover represents and what the listener can expect from the album.
Razorlight
The first of the 3 is incredibly random. There is different travel items scattered around a white floor with a small red tv in the corner. The album cover is quite confusing and has no obvious relevance to the band. However the album and band name are clear for the audience to see. The second and third are both quite similar, they both feature all four band members and have the album and band names clear in the album cover. The second is more basic than the third, this is due to the colors of the two, one is blue, red and black compared to the black and white design of the second.
