This is what the front and back side of the vinyl for Crosscurrent looks likes. The colors of this Album art are inspired by Disasterpiece's album art for the soundtrack to 'Hyper Light Drifter'. And the leopards on the album art are inspired by characters from the game Hotline Miami.

The pixelated  synthesizer that you see in the center of the album is a Juno-106, which is a very important synthesizer that Dawg Bones used all throughout this album, and is a key aspect of Dawg Bone's sound in general. The Juno-106 is also a synthesizer that helped define 80's synth pop.
