The album cover for Pearl Hunting by Belle Morte features a woman with long, wavy hair sits in a contemplative pose, adorned in a bohemian-style dress with rich, earthy tones and intricate patterns. She holds a small seashell in her hand. The background blends elements of fantasy and gothic imagery, with glowing strands resembling bioluminescent filaments in her hair. The typography is ornate, with the album title written in a flowing script, while the band's name is styled in a gothic font with a subtle skull motif.

The album cover for The Uncertainty Principle by Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate features a retro-futuristic, mid-century modern aesthetic. A central figure, depicted in silhouette, sits at a desk with a glowing aura around their head. The background bursts with an explosion of scientific and mathematical imagery: atomic structures, geometric diagrams, rocket ships, and circuitry. The warm, muted color palette of blues, reds, yellows, and oranges enhances the vintage sci-fi feel.
