“We wanted them to do it over a weekend.”Ĭoyne says the project not only resulted in unexpected musical partnerships, but also intense friendships. “We have people like Bon Iver and Ke$ha and Chris Martin, and they’ve got 12 lawyers that have to sign off on stuff and that usually takes about a year,” he explains. “I think the intention was all along that we would put it out (as a proper release),” says frontman Wayne Coyne, who attributes the delay to the gaggle of legal negotiations that Heady Fwends required. But on June 26th, the album will receive a full-scale, nationwide release. The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends, the experimental rock crew’s collaborative album featuring everyone from Bon Iver and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James to Ke$ha and Nick Cave, was first released to limited retailers as part of Record Store Day this past April.
