I always like Hot Chip album covers nearly as much as their music (which is a lot) It's really bold when there's a running theme or template as with these ones that I've picked out, it shows they are different pieces from the same source and they each kind of illustrate the songs. Each entity circled onto the square seems to embody the sense of the song through textures and materials. Album covers should do what these do, i think; act as a depiction of the music in a seductive, picture frame type way.
Their videos are generally an obscure raw and conceptual style, I find them some of the most visually interesting videos around.
There is an old version they made but never released for 'colours' on this page:
