Cymbals – The Age of Fracture
This London foursome don’t stint on highbrow references: their artwork recalls Fernand Léger’s bustling abstracts inspired by an earlier era of rapid industrialisation, when psychic fragmentation in machine-driven urban life first became a hot topic.

Orange Juice – You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever

This elegant poster for Teenage, the film adaptation of Jon Savage’s book exploring the birth of teen culture, does more than signal the documentary’s collagist approach. It recalls the author’s punk roots as well as British artist John Stezaker’s spliced-together promotional shots of forgotten aspiring starlets.

Bombay Bicycle Club – So Long, See you Tomorrow
The figures on BBC’s new album might be circling the globe or a clock, inspired by Eadweard Muybridge’s chronophotography, which dazzled Victorian audiences by breaking down movement into frozen moments.
