TIL The Sound's Jeopardy album artwork is a remix of a 1926 Soviet-Georgian film poster, so if you had sensed 1920s avantgarde vibes in that cover, that was for a reason.

The film in question is Преступление княжны Ширванской (The Crime of Princess Shirvanskaya), dir. Ivane Perestiani, poster design by the Stenberg brothers.
