The Flaming Lips Announce New Album ‘King’s Mouth: Music And Songs’

The Flaming Lips announced the release of their album, King’s Mouth: Music And Songs. Warner Bros. Records will issue the band’s 15th studio LP on July 19.

The Flaming Lips released King’s Mouth: Music And Songs on Record Store Day as limited edition gold color vinyl pressing. The follow-up to 2017’s Oczy Mlody was co-produced by The Flaming Lips, Dennis Coyne and Scott Booker with additional production provided by Dave Fridmann and Mike Fridmann. The 12-track album features a “conceptual storyline threaded together by the dulcet-toned narration from Mick Jones of The Clash.” King’s Mouth: Music And Songs also serves as the soundtrack to The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne’s similarly titled immersive art installation that debuted in 2015.

“The King’s Mouth immersive/child-like qualities are born from the same spark and womb as The Flaming Lips’ live performances,” Coyne stated. “The King’s Mouth adventure was made for humans of all sizes, ages, cultures, and religions.”

New York City-based independent record store Rough Trade NYC will host A King’s Mouth: An Immersive Installation through May 31. Find more information here.
