The cover features cover models Marcus Ewert and Moon Trent, who were the cover models for Pansy Division's 1996 album Wish I'd Taken Pictures. The band has playfully called Quite Contrary their “grandpa record”—intended to describe growing older for a generation of gay men whose role models were decimated by AIDS.[3]
