It follows on from this idea of being ‘narrative’ as the audience feel persuaded to look at the back to find out more about the mysterious male running away. The simplicity of the album is effective as it focuses mainly on the band rather than how the album looks. There is no imagery of the band at all. This shows the type of name bastille have made for themselves as being independent and alternative to other genres where imagery of an artist is the most important selling point The layout of the songs are identical to that of the front cover and the font maintains this consistency. The lighting from the headlights creates a sense of eeriness/danger and so the album is creating the impression that is someone is watching your every move. Appropriate websites are included on the back cover so that fans can visit the band in more depth to ensure that a wide audience is efficiently maintained Bastille CD follows the main theme of simplicity from both the back and front cover of the album. There are no eye catching colours incorporated on the CD itself however the iconic triangle is used again to constantly refer back to who we are listening to. Credits are also shown on the CD in small print and this is emphasising the importance of the companies backing in producing this album. From what can be seen on the front, back and CD is that the company has played a key role in this album and so they are taking as much credit as possible
