A new Flaming Lips song called "See The Leaves" has been released to the internet.

The track is from the band's upcoming 12th album, Embryonic, which is out Oct. 13 through Warner Music. It features 18 songs and is 71 minutes in length.

"See The Leaves" is the fourth Flaming Lips song to be revealed, since a digital EP for fans who bought tickets to the band's upcoming fall tour features Embryonic tracks "Convinced Of The Hex," "The Impulse" and "Silver Trembling Hands."

You can listen to "See The Leaves" here. "Convinced Of The Hex" and "The Impulse" are also streaming on The Flaming Lips' MySpace page.

The Flaming Lips have also posted the cover of Embryonic on their official website. It's pretty hairy and appears to show someone's face being pulled out of/pushed into another person's face... but it somehow looks like a baby being born. Yeah.
