American indie rock act Fleet Foxes have won the Art Vinyl best cover award for their self-titled debut.

The Fleet Foxes sleeve reproduced Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1559 painting Netherlandish.

Roots Manuva's Slime and Reason, which features a bust of the rapper filled with green slime, came second, followed by Coldplay's Eugene Delacroix-inspired Viva La Vida cover.

50 vinyl sleeves were nominated for the gong, which was voted for by 3,000 people online. Previous winners include Hard Fi's Stars Of CCTV and Thom Yorke's The Eraser.

The winning covers will be displayed in art galleries in Norwich, Northampton, Birmingham and London.
