Good Iver, Yoko Ono and Flaming Lips join forces

The project – collaboration of the year
Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips has revealed that they are working on an LP, for the creation of which he will collaborate with Bon Iver and Yoko Ono.

Besides these, on the album that will be released in April, artists such as Nick Cave will appear, η I$ha, Lykke Li and Erykah Badu.

Coyne confirmed that he has already finished recording with Cave and the Plastic Ono Band for this record, while Justin Vernon of Bon Iver has accepted to be part of the project and is expected to participate with two tracks.

Speaking of the rest of the artists who will collaborate, the Flaming Lips singer stated:

"Everything happened within two days. You think of these partnerships in your head and immediately start making them a reality. Sometimes it's enough to just get in touch".

Coyne spoke highly of Ke$ha, whom he hopes to convince to do a "weird rap" on the record, but describing her as "very strange".
