London indie-rockers Babyshambles have unveiled the artwork for their brand new album ‘Sequel to the Prequel’.
Fronted by the iconic and controversial Pete Doherty, the band release their third record on September 2, and to get fans in the mood for an LP full of fresh indie goodness, they’ve unveiled the brand new - and rather colourful - artwork for it, which you can see on the right.
Designed by Damien Hirst, and featuring a photo by Pennie Smith, the band are extremely happy that the iconic artist agreed to do it for them.
The band’s bassist Drew McConnell told NME:
“It happened kind of naturally and in the spirit you'd hope for. We asked Damien to suggest someone to put something together, then to our amazement he offered to do it himself. The fact that he used a pic taken by Pennie Smith, who shot all those iconic photos of The Clash (Damien's old pal Joe Strummer's band), just makes it make even more sense.”
Earlier this month the band unveiled its first single Nothing Comes to Nothing, which hits shelves on August 26, but you can check it out embedded below.
