Jack Penate; Matinee
Matinee is the debut album for Jack Penate, it was released in January 2007. The album reached number one on the UK Indie Albums chart, and number seven on the UK Albums Chart.
Like the Jamie T cover this is a very unique album compared to the others i have analysed. But as this is Jack's first album he most likely didn't want it to be stereotypical, he wanted to stand out.
In the center of the cover there's an old fashioned print out photo, because its in the centre of the frame it stands out. Another thing which makes it stand out is that its in black and white compared to the rest of the background which is bright yellow, pink, blue etc. I've found that a lot of indie covers i have analysed are black and white, and because jack has incorporated this into his cover it has made him appeal to his target audience. Although he's incorporated this he's still been unique and put the colour background behind him. I feel this portrays his music, he has some loud, upbeat music but also relaxing, chill-out music.
Jack has put himself onto the cover by doing this it makes the listener to connect with the artist and therefore enjoy the music more. It also gives the someone to relate the songs back to.
The font used on the cover really stands out, its a very unique font used for this genre of music. He's gone for a narrow, swirly, quite fun looking font, because it isn't stereotypical it draws the eye in.
