For this cover redesign I choose Alt-J's first and only album “An Awesome Wave”. I love everything about it, it's an album with hard contrasts, both in the sound and the lyrics, stretching from gang–rape to lovers losing their lives hundreds of miles away at the same time, from a cappella to a mix of dubstep, electronica, and something that reminds me of one of those indian music videos.
For this same reason I wanted to give the cover a hard contrast between two scenes, the image of a relaxing beach at sunset (with An Awesome Wave in it, of course) came to me almost istanly, and the Fitzpleasure video helped with the idea of a claustrophobic city.
I gathered some of Alt-J stuff on Pinterest, it's not a moodboard but it helped me sense the tone I should have gone for.
