The Coup have been more or less, required to change the album cover of their forthcoming album, “Party Music”, due to the recent tragedies that occurred in Manhattan, NY this past Tuesday. The album cover shows pictures of the towers of the World Trade Center exploding in the background.

Here is the full statement made by The Coup’s label, 75 Ark Entertainment (from their official website):

“The original cover artwork for the Coup album, Party Music, was created long before the tragic events of September 11.

75ARK recognizes the importance of artistic freedom. However, recent extraordinary events demand that we create new artwork for the album. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone whom this tragedy has touched.

The physical cover of the album has never been printed. The cover artwork exists mostly as a web image. We ask that all web supporters and fans of the Coup and 75ARK to discourage any further distribution of this image. We appreciate all your continued support during this indescribable time.”
