Below are some of the ideas from our group:
Audrey's design was to have the band members against a swirling background, with each of them quite vibrantly dressed, connoting the indie-pop genre. The bubble-text font above also looks quite fun and upbeat, so would also further reinforce the genre for the audience.
My designs were to either have the 4 band members on the front, with a block-font of the band name, or having the instruments as the focal image of the cover, with the microphone wire creating the band name.
From these, we chose Juliette's second design (see Ju album 1 (bottom design) or Ju album 3), using just the band logo, with a solid background and no pictures on the outer cover. From our research, we decided that this was the best suited for our genre, as it is typical for indie bands to draw a focus to their music rather than to their image, as well as keeping the band's name in focus on the cover, and therefore more memorable to the audience.
We modelled this off of albums of artists like Daughter 'If You Leave, and The 1975.
For the back cover, we decided that we wanted just the track-list, as is conventional of our genre, drawing on inspirations such as The 1975 (left) and the XX (right), though we hadn't decided if we wanted it in the same font as our front cover, as this could be hard to read for the audience.
FONTS
Juliette also brought font ideas to the session, having tested them out on photoshop before, and from this we decided that we wanted to use the 'Little Sparrow' font (far left) for the band logo

We chose Little Sparrow because we thought it connoted the indie-pop genre well, as did our target audience.
