The "Night Crawling" aesthetic rejects glossy photography. All FU10 cover art is shot on early 2010s smartphone cameras with cracked lenses. The subject is always the same: a single figure walking away from the camera down a wet Calle Real, with the text "FU10" glitched into the top corner.

For exactly four seconds, the background ambiance shifted from wind to something else: the sound of wet fingers dragging slowly down a chalkboard, accompanied by a woman whispering in Galician:
