Arctic Monkeys have revealed the album art for their forthcoming third LP, Humbug.

Arguably the biggest British band around, the influential Sheffield foursome have been holed up in the studio with Queens of the Stone Age main man Josh Homme recording the follow-up to 2007′s brilliant Favourite Worst Nightmare.

Humbug was recorded in the Mojave Desert with Homme and then in LA with producer James Ford, who worked on Alex Turner’s side project The Last Shadow Puppets.

Album preorder is available through the band’s website at: http://www.arcticmonkeys-store.co.uk/.

Arctic Monkeys will be playing a bunch of European festivals this summer including a headlining slot at Reading and Leeds on 28th and 29th August.

Humbug is out on 24th August via Domino Records
