album cover analysis 4#; We Are Scientists, With Love and Squalor


We are Scientists are yet another Indie Rock Band. Intriguingly however they have managed to use a conventional form of media and have adapted the 'rule of three'. Again, the identity of the band members have been covered up slightly with the use of cats however their fashion has been exposed. This is a technique used in order to distinguish the 'look' of the band as well as its audience but with a hint of mystery. Mystifying the typical person, they manage to add much more depth and attitude to the status of their band.

One criticsm of this cover may be the use of colour. Tones of red are common on the two characters towards the right where as the one on the left has decided to use darker tones. However, the use of cats takes the distraction away and therefore balances the flaw out.
