An extremely blurry and slightly warped black-and-white photo of Marley Van Raalte (left) and Abby Self (right), is repeated in a horizontal pattern. Van Raalte is wearing a Wyoming sweater, which is the only article of clothing on either person with a discernible emblem. Two guitar necks are faintly visible in the background, with the effect of the motion blur resulting in a ghostly skull-like appearance in the space between the band members' shoulders that is occupied by the guitar necks.
