A slight deviation from their first album cover, the design for Coexist was based off of the iridescence of spilled oil into the shape of their trademark "X".
Romy Madley Croft explained the meaning of the cover art as a metaphor for the band as a whole and the meaning behind the album title in an interview for Grantland,
"You see a puddle of petrol on the floor – it can look sort of beautiful with the colors that come through it. I looked it up on Google or whatever, and it said oil and water don't mix, they peacefully coexist? And that's what it is when you see those colors. I liked that idea: those two things coming together to make something more beautiful than they are. And I liked the idea of us three coming together; only when the three of us are together, that's when it exists."
On a side note: Their third album is coming out this year!
