What you need to know
Bandcamp's design tutorial sets a clear floor for album art: a square image at least 1400×1400 pixels. Larger square sources are acceptable and preserve more detail.
Artwork is not optional for discovery. Bandcamp says releases without album art do not appear in search listings, tag listings or Discover, so the image is both a visual asset and a listing requirement.
Design the cover to work at small thumbnail sizes as well as on the release page. Strong contrast and a clear focal point survive the downscaled catalog and discovery views better than fine text.
