The Flaming Lips are teaming up with touring mates Tame Impala for an EP that will see both acts covering two of each other's songs. Tame Impala has elected to take on "Are You a Hypnotist??" and "Silver Trembling Hands," while The Flaming Lips have chosen "Runway, Houses, City, Clouds" and "Elephant." Above, check out The Flaming Lips' surprisingly understated version of the Lonerism standout.

The EP will be for sale on vinyl at the two's shared shows on October 31 and November 1, in San Francisco and Santa Barbara respectively. The Flaming Lips have also just released Peace Sword, a mini album inspired by the upcoming movie Ender's Game, via Warner Bros. Spotify Stream
