[edit] Album title and artwork

The album's tracklisting and release date was announced on March 21, 2008. However, the album was untitled. Tilly and the Wall leaned towards naming the album O, due to its oval-shaped frame for the artwork.[7] The album's title was officially confirmed as O on May 6, when the band posted pre-order information on their official website. The oval-shaped frames will include fan-submitted artwork[7] and handmade prints by various artists.[1]
