Among next week's most exciting new music releases is the debut LP from Flaming Lips side-project, Electric Würms. The amusingly titled Musik, die Schwer zu Twerk finds the Steven Drozd-led outfit delivering a set of vibrant and surprisingly condensed prog/kosmische tunes that balance whimsy and weightiness. The project's virtues were put fully on display earlier this summer with lead single and album closer "Heart of the Sunrise" (a boldly truncated Yes cover). If that track left you intrigued or perhaps unconvinced, take one more glimpse via "The Bat" above. Enjoy!
Musik, die Schwer zu Twerk is due out August 19 on Warner Bros. But that's not all! The Flaming Lips are doing yet another one of their full-length cover albums, this time for The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and that is expected for October 28. Set to feature a wide array of guests including Miley Cyrus, Maynard James Keynan, Julianna Barwick, and Chuck Inglish; that sounds like it's gonna be freaking nuts!
