The name of the album is Snakes & Arrows (it was named after the kid's game for India in which another game was born: Chutes & Ladders). Here is the artwork for it:

Their newest single hit the radio. It's called Far Cry. It's a good tune. Illistyl has been listening for the words to decipher them. She's pretty close thus far: Far Cry
Pariah dogs and wandering madmen, Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues. The ebb and flow of tidal fortune, Electrical changes are charging up the gun.
It’s a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit. It’s a far cry from the way we thought we’d share it. You can almost feel the current flowing You can almost see the circuits blowing.
One day feel I’m on top of the world And the next it’s falling in on me. I can get back on, I can get back on. One day feel I’m ahead of the wheel And the next it’s rolling over me.
I can get back on, I can get back on.
Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal Rising anger, fall back and repeat. Slow degrees on the dark horizon Full moon rising lays ever at your feet.
It’s a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit It’s a far cry from the way we thought we’d share it. You can almost feel the current flowing You can almost see the circuits blowing.
One day feel I’m on top of the world And the next it’s falling in on me. I can get back on, I can get back on. One day feel I’m ahead of the wheel
And the next it’s rolling over me. I can get back on, I can get back on.
It’s a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit (You can almost see the circle growing) You can almost feel the planets glowing.
One day feel I’m on top of the world And the next it’s falling in on me. I can get back on, I can get back on. One day feel I’m ahead of the wheel
And the next it’s rolling over me. I can get back on, I can get back on. One day fly through a crack in the sky And the next it’s falling in on me.
I can get back on, I can get back on. I can get back on, I can get back on
