Oklahoma psych-rockers Flaming Lips’ next album will be a track-for-track “interpretation” of Pink Floyd’s 1973 masterpiece “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
The L.A. Times reports Lips frontman Wayne Coyne (pictured) made the announcement during a Q&A session with the audience before Thursday night’s show at the Ricardo Montalban Theater in Hollywood.
The Times says the recording, which is a collaboration with Stardeath and the White Dwarfs, a band that features Coyne’s nephew, Dennis, is already finished.
Henry Rollins and Peaches make guest appearances.
The Lips’ “Dark Side” will likely be an iTunes-only release, at least initially.
