The Flaming Lips have paired up with Bella Union for the UK release of ‘THE FLAMING LIPS AND HEADY FWENDS’.
Even for a band fond of extravagant gestures, ‘THE FLAMING LIPS AND HEADY FWENDS’ was a brave move. Teaming up with a wide range of collaborators, The Flaming Lips completed the album earlier this year.
Released in extremely limited quantities on Record Store Day, ‘THE FLAMING LIPS AND HEADY FWENDS’ never quite made it to British shores. Until now.
Bella Union have signed up the Oklahoma outlaws, with the recent collaborative album due to gain a full British release. Out on July 30th, the album will be available to purchase on CD and vinyl.
Wayne Coyne received the news yesterday, and immediately posted a video to Twitter demonstrating his reaction.
