'The Simpsons' Predicted Tycho's 'Epoch' Album Art

Published Nov 15, 2016
The Simpsons has a strange knack for predicting the future when it comes to real world events, but what about smaller scale happenings in the music world? One viewer has seemingly found a potential inspiration behind the artwork for Tycho's recent LP Epoch within the show.Twitter user Seumas Slingerland (full disclosure, this author's brother) spotted the similarity between the band's cover art and a painting in Ned Flanders's home. The painting in question appears in "Bart of Darkness," the first episode of the long-running show's sixth season.
You can find a comparison that the group have since shared below.
