The album cover for Claire Rousay & Gretchen Korsmo – Quilted Lament features a softly abstract composition. A pale wash of cream and off-white forms the backdrop, overlaid with delicate smudges of pastel yellow, blue, and faint lavender. Ghostly silhouettes—possibly human figures—emerge in the haze, blurred to the point of near-erasure.
