The Strokes have unveiled the cover art for their new and forthcoming album, 'Angles'.

The picture belongs to a Belgian artist named Guy Pouppez, who died in 1993, and according to the NME the band were shown his work by their graphic designer. 

A spokesperson for The Strokes explained:

"His work is basically unknown, as far as we [the band] know,"  

"He was not a famous painter. The graphic designer who designed our album art found it through an art dealer she knows in France."

"We tracked down his only heir, his daughter, and she gave us the rights to use it so long as we wrote in the liner notes: 'Cover painting by Guy Pouppez courtesy of his daughter'."

The album will be released on March 21 and you can listen to its first single, 'Under Cover of Darkness', here:
