So with all the buzz and excitement surrounding the new album, I've been reading a lot of articles/interviews with the band
and I can't recall a single one that discusses this album cover. Up until yesterday when my copy arrived (2 days early!! ), I just
thought it was super cool and artsy. But then my son saw it and immediately recognized the similarity to The Clash album, Give Em Enough Rope.
When I looked it up I immediately knew it had to be some sort of homage to the Clash cover. I would love to know the story behind it... so,
please share if you know! Oh and congrats to the guys for their first #1 with Ain't No Man!!! Woot woot!!!

Leigh - you might actually be surprised - it has nothing to do with that Clash cover.. Read this Interview.. it's SOOO good.

Watch the npr tiny desk concert and look on the top of the shelves on the right of the screen??

I bought give them enough rope on cassette ( good album but over produced), and you are right leighanne, it is very similar to the true sadness cover.
