Cover art
The album cover features photographs of lead vocalist and guitarist Jack Hues and bassist Nick Feldman , with a mosaic effect applied to the pictures. The resulting graphic is a literal representation of the album's title. The sleeve features Hues on the front cover with the track listing of side one, while the reverse is upside down and shows Feldman with the track listing of side two. On some CD editions, both photographs have been laid horizontally on the front cover, and the full track listing appears on the back cover.
