Otava Yo | World Music Central

The cover of Vedan Kolod's album Birds features a surreal and vivid illustration of a forest. Brightly colored birds with purple, pink, and blue feathers fly among skeletal bird skulls that appear suspended in the air. The background consists of tall, leafless trees with hints of vibrant green grass at the forest floor. The band's name and album title are prominently displayed in white, stylized fonts.
