The very dull, dreary colour scheme reflects the title, humbug.
The picture, as it looks like it was taken with a very old camera, could connote that the band like to use older recording techniques, making the album reminiscent of older music styles.
The "warning moderate impact coarse language and/or themes" label shows that the target audience is a bit older than that of their previous two albums. The use of the generic label - "and/or" - portrays the band as if they don't really care and they are very easy-going. This is further supported by the picture, showing the band members relaxing.
The track list doesn't have numbers. This also suggests that the band want the audience to think that little effort was put into the album cover, possibly because they feel the only important part is the music. Also, the back panel has a large amount of dead space, further supporting this.
The record label, Domino, has a logo on the back panel. The logo is very small, connoting how, as the band is indie, the institution had little to do with the music produced.
