Tyler, the Creator leaked three different covers for his long-awaited Wolf album this afternoon, including a self-portrait that brings new meaning to the term ‘extreme close up’ and original art by pop surrealist Mark Ryden. In the process, he revealed a few other things as well: (1) the album’s done, (2) it features 18 tracks, and (3) those tracks include “Pigs” and “Cowboys.” The de facto Odd Future frontman also promised “like a video or something” tonight at Oddfuture.com.

In the meantime, here are those covers.

UPDATE: The Odd Future camp has already followed Tyler’s Instagram shots with a ‘press release and shit’ video that includes such details as the ‘Wolf’ release date (April 2nd), an imminent tour (starting in March; details below) and when we can expect an actual single (a video premiere at 9 p.m. PST tonight)…
