Weirdo-proggers The Flaming Lips have revealed that their new LP, At War With The Mystics, will get a release through Warners on April 3rd.
The first proper single from the album, 'The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song', is to be released on April 24th. Fans wanting a quicker Lips fix should note that the band appear on the forthcoming soundtrack to the video game Stubbs The Zombie, released on February 6th. A download single, 'W.A.N.D.', is also available RIGHT NOW.
Lips frontman Wayne Coyne has been confirmed as a presenter of an award at this year's Brit Awards, too. The band play a few shows in April, details below.

I'm rocking out to it now.
S'good. Quite messy like. Sounds a bit like earlier 'Lips I think.
My PC speakers are FAR too tinny to really appreciate it though.
Yay!!!
This album is gonna be amazing. I'm well gutted im not seeing them. I saw them about 2 years ago (best gig ever!!!!!!!!)
I'm going to the Albert Hall gig
I hope they bring out some special costumes...
I'm going too!
Manchester Apollo
..Here I come. I've never seen them live and I'm looking forward to it so much!
Stubbs the Zombie
That soundtrack is fucking amazing. Ben Kweller singing 'Lollipop' and Cake sining 'Strangers in the Night' I love it.

i hope they invite Midlake to support them!! i heard their new track on the bella union sampler and see they're playing with them in the usa in March, so fingers crossed...amazing..
I'm already bored of their new album...
...and I haven't even heard it yet. Still worn out from all the Yoshimi, perhaps?
Ah who am I kidding, I'll buy this record the day it comes out like the rest of you.
