Evening / Morning is the debut single from Bombay Bicycle Club, which was released 4th August 2008 by the independant record label: "Young and Lost Club".
First look at the album is quite stricking. The strong red contrasting with he black shadows of the face of what looks like frankinsteins monster breaks the conventions of the genre. Similar to album Flaws the cover contains a photograph, the title of the band and album and nothing else, which is common for this band.
The contrasting colours of red and black could invoke the emotions of passion and oppression which can relate to the title; Evening / Morning as in the evening it is dark and cold and in the morning the sun is bright and could connote passion. This is one interpretation of this.
The photo of the monster is looking down which is similar to flaws as it connotes depression. However the photo on this album is in a lot less detail which makes the emotions stand out more on the eyes and mouth which could relate back to the contrasting point of the colour.
On the forehead of the monster is a moderately hard to read title of the single. The font looks a lot like smudged blood which is reinforced with the red colour scheme. This may represent also that the evening and morning is merging which can be related to the single.

Some interesting things here again. Interesting that they have not put themselves on the cover. Interesting that they have kept their names quite small. Useful thigns for your own digipak planning.
