The Flaming Lips have reached out to some of their “fwends”, including ‘Tik Tok’ singer Ke$ha, to release a limited edition double album.

The band will release the record on April 21, to coincide with Record Store Day. Wayne Coyne’s band have teamed up with a variety of artists including Bon Iver, Yoko Ono, Nick Cave, My Morning Jacket and Coldplay’s Chris Martin for the record.
