I love the retro feel here; I never know there could be so much feeling in shades of beige. It almost looks like tea or coffee spilt over the morning post.
This cover really refects the style of music this artist projects. As said in interviews, Chris Corner uses "X" as his alter-ego; someone who is able to do anything, even if it is deemed socially unacceptable. Somehow, despite the simplicity of the design, there seems to be a raw sexuality through the gagged male, covered in bold slashings of yellow and black.
