The Streets release fan-made artwork for new album

by Ciaran Thompson

The Streets’ Mike Skinner recently announced via the band’s website that “the album artwork will be the first photo that is tweeted to me after this blog is posted that has anything to do with a computer. There will be a whole song on the album that explains the photo that someone is going to send to me.”

The photo of the bear next to the computer (above) was sent to Skinner and is now the cover of his forthcoming fifth album Cyberspace and Reds, which will be available “before 7th February.”

Speaking about the new cover Skinner said, “It totally represents what the album is about as well. It’s got the bear obviously and the words ‘whitney technology education’ on the screen which although i don’t consciously understand the meaning of, subconsciously it totally represents what the album is about.”
