[Album Art] I’ve recently been drawn into Belle & Sebastian’s album Tigermilk, and through various research and things I have come across an album by Isobel Campbell, Swansong for You, with art of similar composition.
I found it striking how well the two images went with one another: both are tinted black & white photos of a woman coddling an animal — in Swansong we see her holding close a cat, while in Tigermilk a woman appears to be breastfeeding a young tiger. There is a maternal essence prevalent in both images.
Their similarity cannot be a coincidence; Campbell was a member of the band Belle & Sebastian, which leads me to wonder if the album artworks were designed by the same person.
