London’s Barbican is hosting a new emo exhibition
I’m Not Okay: An Emo Retrospective is running from now until mid-January…
Teasing for their eighth album is seemingly ramping up, as Fall Out Boy are sending fans mysterious postcards from ‘Pink Seashell Beach’.
After taking out an ad in the Chicago Tribune to begin teasing FOB8 (their eighth album), Fall Out Boy are starting to ramp things up by sending fans mysterious postcards from ‘Pink Seashell Beach’.
The band have also launched an accompanying website, sendingmylovefrompinkseashellbeach.com, in the same style and branding, which cryptically states, ‘Take pleasure in the details.’ Elsewhere on the homepage, FOB encourage fans to ‘Join us for a sneak peek into the world’ – but they also warn, ‘Do not open before Christmas’ (which is also a lyric from their spectacularly wordy track Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued, the opening song on From Under The Cork Tree).
As for the postcards, the back of those read: ‘I saw you in a bright clear field. Hurricane heat in my head. The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end. Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain: “Give up what you love give up what you love before it does you in…”’
What does it all mean? Are there a load of new lyrics, song names or even the album title hidden in there? And does the ‘Do not open before Christmas’ thing mean we might actually get something before December 25? Gah!
Check out the postcards below:
And see what people are speculating and piecing together about it all:
