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.

The sexiest album covers of all time:
