Influences we looked at- Elliot Minor


Elliot Minor was introduced to me during the project by my partner as she in a big fan. They have an original style as they combine rock music with classical instruments. They're image reflects them exactly. The cover above suggests the norms of societies as that is how they see that they're expected to dress. The background on both illustrate who they really are and how they create their own worlds through their love for music.

The cover below reminded me more of the Gothic theme we were after. the full moon suggest a supernatural element which crosses over between both the Gothic and Fairy Tale idea. The image of the trees and the never ending path made me feel trapped in the album cover which reminded me of the theme of entrapment in the Gothic genre. Moreover, the organ in the middle suggested to me that someone is meant to be there playing it and as there is no one it looked more mysterious and eerie to me.
