Looking into Tame Impala's current album artwork, they have quite a surreal and retro feel to them. They are abstract artworks rather than covers that relate to the music.
The track The Less I Know The Better doesn't have any specific artwork as it isn't a single, but it's from the latest album, Currents (top right). The lyrics describe the painful moment of finding out that the person you love is in a relationship with someone else. Some lyrics to support this are:
Someone said they left together
I ran out the door to get her
She was holding hands with Trevor
Not the greatest feeling ever
Said, pull yourself together
You should try your luck with Heather
And I heard they slept together
Oh, the less I know the better
The less I know the better
Some online articles imply that the song has feminist themes, stating:
"Directed by CANADA, “The Less I Know The Better” offers a lot to read into along with its poppy visuals and, just like the lyrics of the original song, centers around a dude who just can’t deal with the fact that his crush is in command of her own pleasure. Sorry, man, but Trevor’s in and you’re out." - https://www.nylon.com/articles/tame-impala-the-less-i-know-the-better-video
From the video for this song, it's clear that the female lead has made her choice to be with Trevor, but the male lead can't really accept that and won't move on stating the less he knows about their relationship, the better.
Secret 7's winners from last year were all very abstract and artistically driven. I feel that creating a high quality artwork, rather than having a concept linked to the song will give me a better chance of winning.
