The Flaming Lips Announce New Album ‘King’s Mouth’
The Flaming Lips have announced the wide release of their new album King’s Mouth. The record had an original run of 4,000 pressings for Record Store Day. Now, the LP will come out on all formats on July 19th via Warner Bros. They also gave a taste of the album with the new song “All for the Life of the City.” Listen to it below.
Spanning 12 tracks, King’s Mouth is a concept album about a community mourning the death of a noble monarch. The record is part of a larger art installation currently on display at Routh Trade NYC through May 31st. The project will be completed with a literary tome called King’s Mouth: Immerse Heap Trip Fantasy Experience, which tells the story of the King’s Mouth with words and visuals by frontman Wayne Coyne.
Talking about the project Coyne said “The King’s Mouth immersive/child-like qualities are born from the same spark and womb as The Flaming Lips live performances. The King’s Mouthadventure was made for humans of all sizes, ages, cultures, and religions.”
