The Klaxons have also produced album art inspired by montage style. Their Indie Rock genre is bridged from this abstract collage of art. This album cover rises many questions and opinions, for example;- The items chosen - picked specifically and carry meaning
- Retro - appealing to the fashion senses of its audience
- The cut-outs may represent per song in the album(?)
- Choice of font - colourful; bold; full of persona
Through using some of the conventions stated above, it is possible to see how Klaxons appeal to their targeted audiences. It hints at a tone of surrealism as eyes are disproportioned and isolated locations of the world are exhibited. The absence of the band itself portrays their main concerns which clearly isn't about their own image but of the music itself; the audience itself. Though there is a lot going on in the cover itself it is also possible to classify this piece as a minimalistic one, merely because it doesn't include high-tech use of digital technology and can be achieved by anyone with imagination.
I have enjoyed analyzing this piece very much as the experimental approach taken to appeal to its audience inspires me to do the similiar when attempting my ancillary task. Therefore, it is important that my music video connotes this principle.
