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:
“We have MGMT doing a song with us and we have Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs doing a couple songs with us…For the Karen O tracks, I just called her up in her hotel room and we just did it right over the telephone. It’s pretty absurd.”
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)
