Whilst not being strictly similar to our proposed artist, the Stone Roses have employed a similar album cover design to the one that I am proposing. They went along the lines of a non-descript approach in which the first thing you notice is the band's name, followed by the lemons, which stand out against the 'paint splatters'. This cover works because it is bold and memorable.
The artwork of Jon Hopkin's Opalescent is quite similar to the concept that I came up with, very loose brightly coloured shapes that can be interpreted as whatever you want them to be. This reflects 'Lanmou's proposed attitude, carefree and hippy-ish.
Sonic Youth are more similar to 'Lanmou' in terms of musical style and this is reflected in the album cover, the country scene conveying a sense of freedom and innocence of days gone by. Also I liked the style of writing on this album cover, the messy white scrawl giving off a pretence of not caring about their image. On the contrary, it defines their image, because a lot of though obviously went into this album cover, even though it may not look like it.
