The Flaming Lips enlist Miley Cyrus, Maynard James Keenan for Beatles covers album
News and details about The Flaming Lips’ collab-heavy redo of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band have been floating around for a while, but now the world finally has a track list, thus revealing exactly which acts have chosen to hop on board the Lips’ psychedelic crazy train. A lot of the contributors—like Lips pal Miley Cyrus, for instance—have been rumored for a while, joined by new additions like Tegan And Sara and Tool’s Maynard James Keenan. The full track list is below, along with some upcoming Lips tour dates.
To the collaborators’ (and Lips’) credit, all proceeds from the sales of With A Little Help From My Fwends will be donated to The Bella Foundation, an Oklahoma City non-profit that assists low-income, elderly, or terminally ill pet owners with the cost of veterinary care.
With A Little Help From My Fwends is out Oct. 28, and is available for pre-order now.
