I don't usually work in a way where I pick from a selection of verbal ideas already expressed by the artist (in this case- the band name, song titles, and lyrics). If you illustrate an idea of an idea, the original concept becomes lost in translation. I find it better to leave the verbal idea palette open to interpretation. Pick some verbal ideas of your own, and illustrate objects from those ideas. I know this doesn't apply to a lot of artists, but when I work, I use words as much as images, because words are illustrations. So I choose objects from ideas, not ideas from objects.
But where I ended up was an image pretty involved in the concepts already created by the band. Sometimes your associations are just too heavily influenced to escape easily. But if you work hard enough at it you can break out of that association and come up with an image that puts a new spin on an old idea. 'The Singularity' is my favorite track on the album, and the black shape that is swallowing the coyote is a representation of a singularity.
