A few weeks back whilst shooting the narrative for the music video we found an old TV outside in a back lane, we then went to the front door and asked if we could have it, the man said yes so then we took it back to Tilda's house where it has been sitting for weeks waiting to be smashed up.
The idea is that the album has a theme of loss of signal/ telecommunication error of which we will name our album 'Antennae' this gives it the retro old school indie theme that is conventional but allows us to be very creative and arty as well.
Today we wanted photos of the TV screen smashed through and and for it to be lying in a back lane, we thought this would be a good idea because it is rebellious and eccentric just like indie rock fans want to see. The screen smashing to allot of effort to get it to crack in the way we imagined but we are pleased with the results.

We imagined the cover to be a close up shot of the smashed screen with little background boarding the image, we took various other shot types too just in case for whatever reason we change our minds later on. We took a wide shot with blank wall space on the left and/or right sides for example if we decided to use it for the back cover where the list of song titles go. We also took some photos with a Doc marten as if it's kicking the screen inspired by the hand smashing egg idea on the Yeah Yeah Yeah's cover for 'It's a Blitz'
