The Flaming Lips & Bon Iver--A Mash-Up For The Ages [MUSIC]

You're not dreaming. It's finally happening. Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips has finally dropped the bomb that we've been anticipating since January. Record Store Day will be the day that Lips will be releasing a double-LP with jams that feature some old friends and some new ones.


It's called The Flaming Lips And Heavy Fwends (yes...that says Fwends). Featured on the comp is a diverse array of folks including Nick Cave, Chris Martin, Lightning Bolt, Yoko Oko, Ke$ha (eeewwwwww!!!), and Bon Iver, who you can hear on the track 'Ashes In The Air' below while you peruse the lyrics. The video also has some pages from the lyrical wonderbook Wanye so meticulosuly maintains.

Flaming Lips Share 'Wishlist' For Collabrative Album [NEWS]

Wayne Coyne is a rare breed. One of those gifted few who can turn even the wackiest idea into a reality seemingly with only sheer will and a little follow-through. But we know it takes a little bit more work than that. Last year, The Flaming Lips worked with Neon Indian on a 12'' vinyl-only EP, then set out to work with Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band. But he didn't stop there. He also recorded with Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Bad Seeds frontman, Nick Cave.


Not one to take a break from his creative undertakings, Coyne recently set out to make some sweet melodies with Bon Iver [Oh yay!] and even crafted a wishlist of other musicians he hopes to work with, including: Lykke Li, Erykah Badu and..[perhaps oddest of all] Ke$ha.

He's hoping to have the multi-artist LP out sometime in April, and it seems like a very reachable timeframe considering all the hardwork he and the Lips put into their 6-hour 'Found A Star On The Ground', and then subsequently 24-hour: '7 Skies H3' song.

In the meantime, check out their joint-effort with Neon Indian.
