We had kind of a feeling Kings of Leon’s new album was going to be something of a curve ball. The boys have been teasing their seventh record by debuting a new look for themselves and some distinctly un-KOL artwork.

Now, much like they alienated fans of their first three records with ‘Sex On Fire’, they’ve gone and alienated those fans with a very bizarre and let’s say ‘arty’ trailer for their new album, presumably titled Walls.

Yep, Kings of Leon have been to art school. Remember that scene in The Simpsons when Krusty watches an Eastern European cartoon after losing Itchy & Scratchy and is dumbfounded at what he just saw?

Yeah, that’s pretty much how we felt watching KOL’s new album trailer. Say it with us: What the hell was that? Anyhow, you can check it out for yourself and make up your own mind below.
