When it came time to decide the cover image for Wet Leg\u2019s second album, the British indie rock band packed bags with items that might provide inspiration \u2013 velvet worms sewn by guitarist Hester Chambers, an oversized head of hair from a music video shoot, lizard-like gloves \u2013 and headed to an Airbnb.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted it to be something that was both super girlie and feminine, but then at the same time, just totally repulsive,\u201d says lead singer Rhian Teasdale, who art-directed the Moisturizer<\/em> cover with Iris Luz and Lava La Rue. \u201cThat juxtaposition, I don\u2019t know, it just creates something that\u2019s evocative.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final image, inspired by a photo from that weekend, earned Teasdale, Luz and La Rue a Grammy nomination for best album cover \u2013 a category that will be awarded this year for the first time in over 50 years.<\/p>\n

The other evocative covers nominated are for Bad Bunny\u2019s Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em>; Tyler, the Creator\u2019s Chromakopia<\/em>; Perfume Genius\u2019 Glory<\/em>; and Djo\u2019s The Crux<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The award goes to the project\u2019s art directors. This year, the recording artists are included as nominees in all cases except for Glory<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In recent years, covers had been assessed as part of the best recording package category, which considers all physical materials and images. The package for Brat<\/em>, with its pop-culture-infiltrating green, earned Charli XCX, Brent David Freaney and Imogene Strauss a Grammy last year.<\/p>\n

Harvey Mason Jnr, CEO of the Recording Academy, which presents the Grammys, said the split is an effort to recognise the impact of cover art in the digital age. It also aligns with the academy\u2019s goal to recognise more of the artists that shape music, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
