The band is called Menomena and the genre of music is Indie rock. I think the artwork reflects the genre of the music which is alternative rock. The name of this album is called Friend and Foe
The illustrator of this work is Craig Thompson. He is a graphic novelist and creates a lot of comical illustrations. He has his own blog in which he shows a lot his work and illustrations. He is also best known for his graphic novel 'Blankets'.
The target audience for this work i think is mostly aimed at teenagers and young adults because the theme is quite dark and scary. Also the song titles look like they are aimed at older people as they are the ones that are most likely to be interesting. The imagery relates to the music and the album title because there are many different images that represent different things. In some areas it shows two people/creatures looking like they are being friendly with each other and look happy which could represent 'Friend' in the album title and in other areas it shows some people/creatures doing violent and weird things which could represent 'Foe' in the album title. The mood that these illustration create is quite an aggressive mood as some of these illustration show aggression.
The materials used to create this album cover is mostly a black tip pen to do the outlines, pencil, and coloured pens. I also think photoshop or illustrator could of to touch up the colour and add a better contrast to really show the drawings.
The designer uses only few words in this album cover as most of it is illustrations. The only text is in the speech bubbles. The colour used is only dark grey, black red, blue, white and yellow. But most of it is in grey and black.
