sonic youth daydream nation

this is the front cover for sonic youths daydream nation. it conforms to the indie genre with the simplicity if the imagery that still has a large imact on the consumer. the image used is somewhat striking and extremely effective as it is regarded as one of the top 10 indie albums ever. the grainy writing and image make it look although the image is printed on canvas and makes it look a little dirty. the image has dark undertones and isnt as happy and cheerfull as the laura marling album. it gives connotations that sonic youth are like the last candle still lit and there lighting a dark room. this is an album cover i remember finding good even as a child when i would flick through my mothers album collection. this proves that it is the kind of image that sticks in your head despite its prevehlent simplicity and dark undertones. also the fact that the band name is very pronounced on the front of the album cover means that not only the image the name of the band and album will also leave an impact on the viewer. finally it conforms with the name of the album ''daydream nation'' it gives connotations of political undertones and fighting the system because it is just a daydream not reality.
