When the album was reissued in 2024, the band chose to replace the revolver in the image with a flower because of the prevalence ofGun violence in the United States, donating a portion of its sales to the Artist for Action charity.  Additionally, the band’s friend Phil, who was mentioned in the song “Kick the Tragedy”, died from a gun-related incident.

I am not a fan of album art whose most prominent text is not the artist name or album title

Shoegaze is a genre I haven’t really listened to but have thought I might like. I do like Explosions in the Sky and I think they’re at least adjacent? Any starting bands you recommend?

I don’t know a lot about the genre but I love Cranes, who apparently happen to be shoegaze.
