♫♪  The Flaming Lips / Horse Thief - Flaming Thief Horse Lips

The Flaming Lips sure are good at seizing opportunities! The group, who just released a new album today called The Terror (“a depressing and dismal dud,” according to this dud), contacted a band last night called Horse Thief to record some music. Why? Well, both artists released an album today (Horse Thief’s is called Grow Deep, Grow Wild), both were released on the same label (Bella Union), and both of them hail from Oklahoma City. Naturally, the two groups decided to swap a song from each of their albums and record them as covers. The result: The Flaming Lips covering Horse Thief’s “I Am The Bear” and Horse Thief covering The Flaming Lips’ “Try to Explain.” Check it out:
