Two vinyl sleeves from the Lemon Jelly album 'Lost Horizons' displayed on a wooden table. The sleeve on the left features a bright, stylized vector illustration of rolling orange fields and a coastline under a blue sky. The sleeve on the right features a contrasting dark blue vector illustration of a city skyline and house at night. In the background, there are PlayStation and Nintendo Switch controllers and small potted plants.

A view of Norwich Cathedral’s spire rising in the background under a partly cloudy sky, seen from behind a curtain of green willow branches. A red-brick building lines a calm river on the right side of the image.
