The Flaming Lips have revealed extensive details behind their new tribute album “With A Little Help From My Fwendz.” The album features contributions from My Morning Jacket, Dr. Dog, Phantogram, Grace Potter, Foxygen, MGMT, Moby, Miley Cyrus and more. The full tracklisting can be seen below.
The album will be released at the end of this month, on October 28th, but the album’s leading single, “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” has been released. The track features straightforward vocals from Miley Cyrus, crescendoing into a whirlwind of dissonance. It’s certainly an interesting take on the iconic psychedelic-pop tune. Overall, the take is particularly experimental, to the point that some might find the attempt a bit affected.
