This is an album by 'The Libertines' and I have chosen to analyse this as they are the band that plays the song I have used to create my music video for. This album cover is a very distinct cover in the indie-rock genre. This is because 'The Libertines' are seen as one of the bands that really defined the indie-rock genre and therefore their albums get lots of attention.This cover is a very simple one and is just a mid shot of Carl Barat and Pete Doherty the two most talked about and controversial members of the band. The cover depicts them showing the camera their famous 'libertine' tattoos, and they are also wearing the same beads around their necks, this shows they are united in one band. It could also have other connotations as in life away from the band Pete and Carl had fallen out many a time so this could show they are now commited to eachother and the band.
Pete and Carl are dressed in casual clothing and fit into the scruffy indie look that is conventional of bands of the same genre, the fact that they both have tattoos showing backs up this point aswell. This album cover also has a very unique font style, this font is very iconic and is an idea taken and improved from a 'Sex Pistols' album. The white font with black surrounding it really makes it stand out from the main picture.
