Lifted Album Cover

A fresh concept for the classic Bright Eyes album, with a photo shoot featuring a suspended orange and hand painted backdrop. This concept embodies the off-kilter, more-than-meets-the-eye nature of the album. 

The suspended orange takes inspiration from the paintings of René Magritte and the song “Bowl of Oranges.” The back of the album features a roughly painted star shape, in part inspired by imagery in the album as well as the rough-and-ready style of recording often heard on Bright Eyes records.
