Sunderland art punks The Futureheads are asking fans to use Twitter to nominate songs from their back catalogue for a forthcoming a cappella album.
New versions of their existing songs will be re-recorded for the entirely vocal album later this year.
Announcing the project through the band’s Twitter account, singer Barry Hyde said: “We are making an a cappella album and want you to help us decide which of our songs to do! Get your requests in now! o-oo o-oo o-a-o e etc..!”.
Hyde also suggested in tweets that the band would follow this up with a covers album.
To suggest a track for the a cappella album, you need to post the band a Twitter message, including their tag @thefutureheads, and the track title.
The Sunderland band hit the top ten in 2005 with a now famous cover of Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds of Love’, which included a distinctive a cappella intro.
Watch the brilliant new animated video for single ‘I can do that’, taken from 4th album ‘The Chaos’, released earlier this year go here.
