Bloc Party, A Weekend In The City, and Rut Blees Luxemburg.






To this day, the artwork for Bloc Party's A Weekend in the City, and the singles released for it, remain to be a person favorite of album cover art. These were taken by German Photographer Rut Blees Luxemburg, who typically depicts the beauty of urban scenes and landscapes at night. She also contributed her piece "Towering Inferno" for The Street's debut album Original Pirate Material.

I am personally a big fan of this style of photography, and due to it's association with British music scene, as well as the connection between the often time-delayed artificial lighting and the aptly named title 'An Army Of Lights,' this style may be appropriate.
