This document analyzes and summarizes several indie album covers. It notes that Jamie T's "Panic Prevention" album cover features a chaotic image that contrasts with the album title and matches his musical style. The Does It Offend You, Yeah? album depicts a working class setting that matches the style promoted by indie bands. It also notes that Arctic Monkeys features council houses, promoting an indie style. For Bastille, the cover does not include the artist's face, showing a man running away which could represent escaping life, linking to the album's dark themes. Both the title and band name use triangles instead of As, a common indie experimentation.

analysis
Jamie T – ‘Panic
Prevention’ this chaotic
image directly contrasts with
the album’s title and
matches Jamie T’s style of
music and the genre.
Does it Offend you yeah? – The
setting to this album cover is
that of a working class
setting matches the style
Indie bands promote. The dull
colours of the background
contrast with the bright red
dress on the young woman
making her stand out as the
central subject. The dress
also matches the album title
giving them some kind of
connection. The image looks
crazy and chaotic as if we
have caught a glimpse at a
bigger story.
This image from Arctic Monkeys album
shows a row of houses that look like
council houses again promoting the
style of Indie bands. The image is
very dark with glimpses of yellow
connecting the image to the title.
Like many other Indie albums covers the artist face
doesn’t appear on this album by Bastille. The image
shows a man running away, indie bands tend to link
their front covers with their songs and this image
could represent him running from life linking with
the dark nature of the album songs. The dark colours
and time setting also links with this idea, it could
also link with the idea of light at the end of the
tunnel. Both the title and the albums name use
triangles instead of the letter ‘A’ indie bands
tend to experiment with things like this.
