When they’re not doing their thing with Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show, the “greatest band in late night” are usually working on new concept albums. On May 20, the Philadelphia wrecking crew return with the follow-up t their conceptual album Undun, with a new story to tell in …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin (&TYSYC in the interest of brevity). The album cover was revealed today and you can check it out above. The artistic design features a sharp collage on faces forming two people.

Whereas Undun focused on one character, the new album will explore several different people. In an interview with XXL, Black Thought stated that the album will be satirical, but still “an analysis of some of the stereotypes perpetuated in not only the hip-hop community, but in the community.”

Questlove noted back in 2011 that the band was purposely creating shorter albums so that it could be digested in one sitting in this generation of easily-distracted music listeners. Undun clocked in at 38 minutes and Black Thought says &TYSYC should be about the same. The album arrives May 20 and is available for pre-order here.
