a Submotion Orchestra album cover remix.

For this album cover, I’ve chosen to remix an album cover of a favorite artist of mine, Finest Hour by Submotion Orchestra. Submotion Orchestra is a UK-based electronic group with very heavy R&B and jazz influences. The original 2011 cover features an old version of the band’s iconic dandelion icon in black on a red background. To remix it, I’ve taken a photo of a real dandelion and altered it to match a similar aesthetic of both the Finest Hour cover with a similar teal and red color scheme of another album, Alium. Further still, the band often chooses to portray themselves as a lineup of 6 or 7, with their singer being the only one of them not portrayed entirely in silhouette. At the bottom of my remixed cover, I’ve placed such an image of the group made to blend into the shadows of the background.
