The band’s third album, Frames , was released on 1 October 2007 on Superball Music . Artwork for the album was provided by Robin Finck of Nine Inch Nails and Guns N’ Roses . Originally entitled The Frame , the band elected to alter the name slightly after an incidental suggestion; Vennart explained that “one of our friends, who’s in Future of the Left , said ‘I love the title… Frames , isn’t it?’ We just thought, ‘well it wasn’t, but that’s a lot better. It’s an angular title, it evokes strength and structure and it’s quite cinematic.” The album was trailed as featuring “a lot of songs about grudges and negative energy”, with the song “Commemorative 9/11 T-Shirt”, inspired by a gift to Vennart by band Cardiacs , which includes a time signature of “11/8 or 9/8, so when we were naming the song it was like ‘it’s in 11, it’s in 9, it’s got to be 9/11”.
