Summary

The iconic psychedelic rock band, The Flaming Lips, are embarking on a new chapter, signing with Jack White's Third Man Records after a lengthy tenure with Warner Records. Their forthcoming album, 'The Teardrop Throbs,' is scheduled for release on January 22nd, marking their first LP of new material in six years and their 17th studio effort overall.
Singer Wayne Coyne expressed profound inspiration for the album, drawing from his deep love for his two young sons, Bloom Bobby and Rex Roses. The lead single, 'God Will Control the Werewolves,' is a Pink Floyd-esque ballad that originated from a bedtime story Coyne told his sons about werewolves and divine protection during a game of hide-and-seek under a full moon.
'The Teardrop Throbs' follows their 2020 album 'American Head' and is their first release since multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd left the band in 2024. To support the album, The Flaming Lips will embark on an intimate tour across New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, and London, featuring performances of both the new album and material from their extensive catalog.
