Well, that's one way to leak an album.

Yeasayer's new full-length Fragrant World doesn't come out until Aug. 21, but the band is releasing all the tracks on various websites so fans willing to hunt them down can hear the album three weeks early.

The dreamy psych-pop jam "Blue Paper" is premiering on Wired (hear it above), with other songs hitting the internet throughout the week. The scavenger hunt seems like a fun way to share some new music, but it's also a way to beat the inevitable online leak that seems to predate every record's release these days.

"We have received message that we are on the verge of embargoed information being leaked through the cracks of the digital universe," the band said in a statement. "In order to have the edge we have created PSCYVOTV, standing for Preemptive Self-Commissioned Yeasayer Vorstellung or Track Visualizer."

The songs Yeasayer is releasing – 11 total – will be accompanied by videos like the one above, with visuals by Japanese multimedia artist Yoshi Sodeoka.

Releasing music through less-traditional channels has become something of a pastime for the Brooklyn-based trio. Earlier this year, the band sent 200 physical CDs (so retro) containing Fragrant World song "Henrietta" to fans on their mailing list. (The song has hit the web, too – hear it below).

The when and where of each song's release will remain secret until the time they hit the web, but clues to each release will be made available via Twitter – follow @Yeasayer as well as the band's label, Secretly Canadian (@secretlycndian).

But be warned: Yeasayer's tweets have a reputation for being cryptic, to say the least. The band alerted fans to the coming of "Henrietta" by merely tweeting "HNRTTA" in May.

It's also imperative that fans act quickly once the clues go up.

"The visuals will live on the web until Friday at 8 p.m. EST," Yeasayer's statement said. "You’ll have a few days to find, listen and, most importantly, hear the album from our hands first. At 8 p.m. sharp, PSCYVOTV will be removed."

After checking out "Blue Paper" above, dive into "Henrietta" below, then start your own epic quest for the rest of Fragrant World. Or wait for it to hit stores like a n00b.

Fragrant World comes out in non-internet forms Aug. 21 on Secretly Canadian.
