Untrue by Burial — album cover art

Untrue (2007)

A blurry, ghostly photograph of a hooded figure barely visible in darkness — like surveillance footage or a half-remembered dream. At release, the artist's identity was unknown, making the faceless cover a literal representation of musical anonymity.
