And it’s just as mad as you might think it is.
Having announced their brand new album recently the band have now revealed their brand new artwork. Based on a Simpsons on acid feel, the new artwork was created by Crobot member Chris Bishop, the band’s guitarist and it is just as totally mental as you might have thought.
It goes a little deeper than just that however, when held up to the light the vinyl edition of the album will reveal the Spaceborne Killer a la David Bowie. Very cool indeed, the guitarist adds :
“We wanted to do something completely different and not take ourselves too seriously… I was going for a Simpsons on acid feel,” states Bishop. “If the Simpsons aren’t already on enough acid. I really wanted it to have a graffiti/ street art feel to play into the album name. I spent a lot of time hiding anamorphic images and messages in the art as well, so hopefully our fans have fun finding those Easter eggs. Some of my inspirations for the album art are people like Dallas artist Michael Reeder, who does some of my favorite portrait styled street art, and Broken Fingaz Crew from Israel who do a lot of propaganda styled stuff. Much respect to those guys.”
You can also check out the band’s single below if you haven’t heard it yet which will be featured on the new record along with more totally mental ideas I’m sure.
Crobot’s brand new album Fat City will be released September 23rd via Nuclear Blast.
