The album cover for Urban Myths by Marc Crofts Klezmer Ensemble features a cityscape composed of colorful, overlapping architectural landmarks from around the world. The buildings, tinted in vibrant blues, purples, and reds, appear stacked at odd angles, suggesting an urban collage. The title is prominently displayed in a bold serif font, with the ensemble's name above it. The Frémeaux & Associés logo appears in the lower right corner.
