This album cover is for a similar genre ours. The cover is constructing its brand image by having an element of disjuncture which makes it is recognisable as an indie album even if you didn't know the band. The image has no direct meaning or relevence to the audience, making it alternative and qwerky and attracting the target audience of young, individual, hedonistic radicals.
These two covers, again, have the element of disjuncture. The images in both are eyecatching and attractive as they provoke thought in the audinece at a first glance. They have no link to the songs on them or the music videos making them even more 'random' and individual. I think our cover would be slightly different to this as it will link directly to the music video, but seeing as our video has elements of disjuncture it will still be conventional of the indie genre.
This is thoughtful analysis, well done.
