Your cover art is the first impression.
Make it count.
It should set the tone, tell the story, and make people want to hit play—before they hear a single note.
Don’t let lazy visuals kill a great song.
Remember: Nine North Records Label Group has your back.

The album cover for 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐤𝐞 is a richly layered, surreal composition designed by visual artist Big Cartel. At the core, a mechanical humanoid figure perches atop a massive, pink, brain-like mass, which pulses with exaggerated organic texture, ridges, and veins. The creature evokes themes of cognitive intensity, chaos, or uninhibited imagination.
The figure holds a smaller wired brain in one hand—connected by tubes—suggesting a transfer or manipulation of thought. In its other hand, it raises a placard with “Dirty Dike” across it, flanked by a shadowy silhouette that hints at identity or an alter ego. Surrounding this scene is a cosmic tableau: vibrant nebulas, planetary orbs, and swirling celestial elements, imbuing the entire composition with psychedelic and metaphysical undertones.
Hovering above, the album title Constant Dikestar appears in a distorted, futuristic typeface that drips with attitude, complementing the anarchic, genre-defying spirit of Dirty Dike’s music.
