Brand New, 'Science Fiction'

Are there two of these threads? Weird.

Noteworthy Album Covers of 2017

Yeah there's two. My req to close one at the start of the year went unnoticed. Picked this one because it's got way more, idk.

the Brand New cover is great, of course. but i'm curious: did they photoshop the girl in red? is it a found photo of a very dumb jump? did they stage a stunt? anyone know?

I've seen that photo used elsewhere, but upside down, not sure where.

Photographer is Thobias Fäldt but that still doesn't tell us whether it's staged or not (first comment on this page is about her hair being too nice for a jump like that, but who knows, maybe she's actually jumping UP to the window and not the opposite). Came across this piece of work while searching for info.

Lol, seems legit.
