two: trends in cover design

Did I miss the memo regarding the new trend in album covers or something? All set for release on Sept. 22, J. Tillman's Year in the Kingdom, The Hidden Cameras' Origin:Orphan and Hallelujah the Hills' Colonial Drones (personal fave) each happen to feature collage-style artwork on their covers.

What is the significance of this trend, and does it mean I can get a job designing jacket covers for indie/folk bands? (Dearest bands, it would be my pleasure... Please see my contact information in the column to the right.)
