MGMT and Yeah Yeah Yeah’s singer Karen O will both appear on the new Flaming Lips album.
Lips frontman Coyne told Swiss website Die Klangschau that Karen O appears on a "couple" of song from their new album Embryonic, which will be released in September, while MGMT have contributed one track for the record.
Coyne said: "For us, making a double record means that there’s more room to be strange. When [you] are making a very precise ten or eleven tracks, you want a really focused mood with an arc in it. Whereas I think with a double record, you’re allowed to be abstract, freaky and unfocused – and that appealed to us. We really wanted to have the songs overtake us."
Speaking about the collaboration with Karen O, Coyne also revealed:"I just called her up in her hotel room and we did it right over the telephone. It’s pretty absurd."
