New Flaming Lips album available online Wednesday evening (Sept. 16)
Fans don’t have to wait until Oct. 13 to hear The Flaming Lips new double album “Embryonic.”
After the Oklahoma-based art-rock group performs on “The Colbert Report” Wednesday (10:30 p.m. Sept. 16 on Comedy Central), the Lips’ 12th album will be made available online for a limited-time at www.ColbertNation.com. The site will stop the stream on Monday, Sept. 21.
This marks the first time The Flaming Lips have pre-released an album digitally in its entirety. And it is also the first time ColbertNation.com has streamed a full album from a musical guest appearing on “The Colbert Report” — but it won’t be the last.
On Tuesday, Oct. 6, The Mountain Goats are scheduled to make their late night television debut on “The Colbert Report.” In concurrence with their performance, ColbertNation.com will stream the band’s sixth album “The Life of the World to Come” which is being released Oct. 6. The songs on the album are named after Biblical verses that informed or inspired the band members.
Fans of The Flaming Lips can also catch the band on “The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien” at 10:30 p.m. Oct. 13 on NBC. The performance coincides with the release date of “Embryonic,” which was recorded in Oklahoma City and Fredonia, NY, and is The Lips’ first full studio set in three years following their Grammy Award-winning “At War With The Mystics.”
And keep these dates in mind, as well:
••Oct. 24: The Lips will host their third annual “March of 1,000 Flaming Skeletons” Halloween Parade in downtown Oklahoma City’s Bricktown district — just a stone`s throw away from Flaming Lips Alley.
••Dec. 31: The Lips will be in concert at the Cox Center. Tickets for the show will go on sale Saturday, Sept. 19, and prices range from $10, $20, and $25 (plus venue/transaction fees).
