Arctic Monkeys Unveil Flesh-Flashing Artwork
Arctic Monkeys have unveiled the controversial artwork to their upcoming new single 'Crying Lightning'.
Released as an iTunes download next Monday, July 6, and physically on August 17, the single cover features semi-naked (nipples and all), ultra-flexible girls balanced on a drum.
It's not the first time the band have courted controversy with their artwork.
Their debut 2006 album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' featured a photo of friend Chris McClure puffing on a cigarette, causing outrage from anti-smoking groups.
'Crying Lightning' is taken from Arctic Monkeys' third studio album 'Humbug', released on August 24.

50. Madonna: ‘Hard Candy’ – Wearing a ‘Championship’ belt and with her legs completely akimbo, Queen Madge is clearly trying to deceive her years with this sexually suggestive cover. It’s an image that’s already proving divisive, with one side of the camp claiming she looks great and the other mocking the woman old enough to be a granny.
