When the album was reissued in 2024, the band chose to replace the revolver in the image with a flower because of the prevalence ofGun violence in the United States, donating a portion of its sales to the Artist for Action charity. Additionally, the band's friend Phil, who was mentioned in the song "Kick the Tragedy", died from a gun-related incident.
Shoegaze is a genre I haven’t really listened to but have thought I might like. I do like Explosions in the Sky and I think they’re at least adjacent? Any starting bands you recommend?

I am not a fan of album art whose most prominent text is not the artist name or album title

Try the album Sunbather by Deafheaven. Original or the recent remaster, both are great.
