Hey folks!

First pic: A photograph of the band, taken from a low angle on the ground looking up at them. They're dressed in T-shirts. There's a guy with a round face and longish light-colored hair, a woman in a dark shirt with short dark hair and large spiral earrings, and another guy with short moussed hair in a white t shirt. The whole thing is orange-tinted. A great deal of the picture is the sky above the three, and the sky is orange.  Second pic: The album has a grey background. On the top in large lettering is "808" in dark blue/purple. On the bottom is ": 90." The 90 is in dark pink. The two boxes of the : have pictures in them. The lower one shows a photo of an orange fish on a blue background. The top box is difficult to make out. It looks like a purple ring on a black background, perhaps a photo of an eclipse.
