The Flaming Lips share "How?" from 'Oczy Mlody' (watch the video), expand tour

The Flaming Lips have released a second single and video from their upcoming album, Oczy Mlody. “How?” is somnambulistic, surreal trip, not unlike something that could’ve been on The Soft Bulletin or Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and the video is a typically Lips-ian dream, full of roman candles, furry suits and jumpropes of fire. Watch it, and previous single “The Castle,” below.

Oczy Mlody is out January 13 via Warner Bros in a variety of configurations, including two different vinyl versions, and one that includes a 7″ of their cover of Bowie’s “A Space Oddity.” Preorders are available now.

If you’d like to know more about the record, frontman Wayne Coyne will be hosting a Facebook Live chat today (11/11) at 1 PM Eastern. The band’s 2017 tour, which includes a show at NYC’s Terminal 5 on March 9 (tickets), has added a few more dates since we last posted. Those include another NYC-area stop at The Space at Westbury Theatre on March 11 (tickets). All dates are listed below.
