Research into Digipaks

Indie Folk

Mumford and Sons – Sigh No More

The digipak for ‘Sigh No More’ features a plain brick building theme. The front cover is a picture of the band stood in a shop window. It uses a black font, all in capitals, so that it stands out against the white background of the digipak. The back cover has a list of songs.

The CD itself is plain black with only the band and album name written on it in white, in the same font.

Ben Howard – Every Kingdom

The digipak for ‘Every Kingdom’ features an underwater picture of someone diving. There is a combination of light and dark lighting in the image, but the colouring is conventional of indie folk digipaks. The font is white and in all capitals again, this time at the top of the cover.

The inside of the digipak includes a booklet with some images of the band and the lyrics to the songs on the album.

The CD itself is all black again, with white text featuring the artist and album name.

Foster the People - Torches

The digipak for ‘Torches’ is quite plain, much like the ‘Sigh No More’ album. The main colours are white, black and orange. The titles are black text, and the sub-titles are in orange. All of the text is in capitals again, like the other albums.

There is no insert for the digipak, however the song names are written on the back of the album.

The CD is orange and white, with white text, the same font as the cover.

Passenger – All the Little Lights

The ‘All the Little Lights’ digipak is quite different to many of the other conventional indie folk digipaks. It is very vibrant and colourful, albeit very dark. These are almost the exact opposite of the usual covers. The text is all yellow and in capitals as well, the one thing that is similar.

The back of the digipak features a list of the songs included, in the same font and colour as the cover.
