Fall Out Boy Album Cover by Luke Chueh On 16th September2008
Luke Chueh’s art graces the cover of the upcoming Fall Out Boy album, Folie à deux, due in stores on November 4th, 2008. The artwork provides a humorous interpretation of the album title – Folie à deux which refers to a situation where a mental illness is transmitted from one person to another. Keep up the good work Luke!
Not much to say except that this is another HUGE remix by Soulwax / 2 Many DJs. It updates the original without stomping it into oblivion and is one of the most exciting things I’ve heard from Soulwax since their Gossip remix.
Can you believe it’s almost been a decade since the Chemical Brothers original came out? Remember the video? It’s one of those late 90’s videos that I always was glad to be able to watch when I was up all night for no reason except to be up all night.
Also: The Chemical Brothers have a new album coming out on in a couple weeks. It’s a compilation of greatest hits (including the original Hey Boy Hey Girl) and all of the electronic battle weapons. It’s called Brotherhood. Pre-order here: Amazon.com
