This is the album cover of 'Casually Dressed and Deep In Conversation' by Funeral For A Friend. The cover shows a man and woman sat on a rock at a high altitude while their heads are wrapped and bound together with a white sheet, although they are still not touching and are facing away from each other. This could represent the point of the album, that people may be close but still hide some things about themselves (white sheet covering faces), it is, however, based on the two paintings 'The Lovers' by Belgian artist René Magritte. This may also represent the idea that 'love is blind'. We can therefore suggest the set list contained within this album will have some songs about love. The dark sky above them, however, could represent sadness or sorrow, therefore we could assume that the songs may not be typical love songs. The photograph should help this album stand out on shelves and create a talking point amongst the audience, thus increasing sales. The costumes worn by the people in this photo are consistent with that of 'The Lovers', although the red does stand out and could be considered eye catching.
