If you wondering, which you probably were (unlike that other band), The Flaming Lips have announced the last remaining details pertaining to their latest studio album. Embryonic, the band’s 12th full-length overall, now sports an October 13th release date and this mind-numbing (literally) artwork.

What’s more, the band has unveiled another sneak peak at the album, this in the form of a rather noisy track titled “Silver Trembling Hands”. Head over to Pitchfork to check it out.
