Big Boi has confirmed there is a new Outkast album in the works.
The rapper has been busy working on his solo album Sir Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty which is set for release this year, but added “For all you Outkast lovers, the album is coming. I’m tired of talking about it, and know y’all are tired of hearing me talk about it. But it’s coming, and the album is fire!”. It’ll be their first since 2003’s massive Speakerboxxx/The Love Below double album.
The Flaming Lips have announced the guests on their upcoming album.
MGMT and Karen O will both feature on Embryonic, which is to be released in the autumn, though no exact date is confirmed. Wayne Coyle said of the record:

The band will also be playing the following UK dates in November:
London Troxy (November 10, 11)
Portsmouth Guildhall (13)
Glasgow O2 Academy (15)
Manchester Academy (16)
Birmingham Academy (17)
