Muse Scoop Album Cover Award
Rockers Muse, whose latest track features on the soundtrack to the Twilight movie, have picked up a design award for the cover of their most recent album.
The British group have been awarded the Best Art Vinyl prize for 2009, beating fellow UK rockers Manic Street Preachers into second place for the image on their Journal for Plague Lovers album.
Artwork for Fever Ray’s self-titled release was awarded third place with Massive Attack and US punk band Green Day making up the top five.
The shortlist for the prize consisted of 50 albums ranging from well-known popular releases to some more obscure efforts.
Winning sleeves are now set to be displayed in an exhibition at the Art Vinyl gallery in the Selfridges department store on Oxford Street in central London.
Art Vinyl director Andrew Heeps said the award was a brilliant way to celebrate the “unsung heroes” behind the art and design of some of the world’s best-loved bands and artists.
The awards have been running for five years with US indie band Fleet Foxes scooping the top prize in 2008 with the art work for their self-titled debut album.
