This is the cover of the their latest release called Infinite Arms, which was released 2010.
This box set includes a digital bonus track "Desperoscoe", photo prints of the band, a 18x24-inch poster and if customer want to order it online they do get a Band of Horses Poster sent to them as well. The first 30 purchases also got a limited edition tour poster.
The design of the new album represents a still image of mountains combined with a "moving" image of stars. This cover follows the pattern of the previous two albums as they are also based on nature. They actually take simple pictures and make them interesting through adding a special effect to it.
This is the cover of their old album called "Everything all the time" released in 2006. It shows actually simple picture of trees but then they are reflected like they are reflected in water.
Also the font of the covers are always the same and personally I do not like it very much as I think it looks quite unprofessional. However, I have to say that it looks like it is the the writing of a book telling a fairytale and therefore quite mystic, which has probably a reason. I interpret it that the when you listen to the songs you are almost carried into another world. Similar to the 2006 cover is the Bon Iver album design. Therefore I can see a pattern, promises that the music is going to make you feel you are part of a mysterious fairytale world.
The Band Of Horses uses much stronger colors, which is important as people see and pick it much quicker than the other one where colors are fated.
Also noticeable is that the title of the album is not in the foreground but more the name of the band, which needs to be considered by us as well.
