The Neighbourhood
The Neighbourhood are an American alternative rock band. The album cover ins in black and white which is a theme that runs through their music videos as they are also in black and white. On the left, is the front album cover showing a shot of what appears to be storm clouds with three symbols that signifies three different messages. On the left is an upside down eye of providence symbol, which represents the eye of God and suggests that he is watching over human kind. The lead singer of the band (Jesse Rutherford) has this symbol tattooed onto his neck which suggests that one of the reasons it is on the cover is because it holds personal significance to him. he is watching over human kind, the lead singer of the band (Jesse Rutherford) has the symbol as a tattoo on his neck, suggesting that it holds some sort of personal significance to him. In the middle of the album cover is a heart, which is used to represent love as the title of the album is 'I Love You'. Lastly the upside down house is the bands logo and is used to represent them.
The music videos of the band suggest that they find simplism to be important as they go for a more artistic appearance of their music videos rather than a crazy appearance with a lot going on. This is a trait that the alternative/rock genre holds as one of the ideologies of rock music is that the music is what is most important therefore the simplistic nature of their texts enable audiences to focus on the music rather that the exterior appearance.
There are aspects of the album cover that will definitely be carried through to mine as they are conventional aspects of all album covers. This includes the bar code and if my track had any explicit content I would also use a parental advisory lable however my track doesn't need this as it doesn't have any bad language or explicit content.
