Dan Deacon taking a chance, remixing new Flaming Lips album in its entirety

There’s a hot new band coming out of Oklahoma City!

Relative unknowns The Flaming Lips have gotten a lot of press about their forthcoming debut album on Warner Bros. Records, The Terror. While the initial April 2 release date has been pushed back two weeks to April 16, fans of the up-and-comers need not fret, as veteran electronic musician Dan Deacon is taking a chance on the burgeoning psychedelic band in an effort to give them more exposure.

Aside from the standard version of the album, Warner Brothers is pulling out all the stops and releasing a deluxe 2 LP edition. That’s where Deacon comes in. He has reconstructed, broken down, and edited the entire album into a side-long remix titled “We Don’t Control The Controls (Mashed-The-F-Up-Remix)”.

Hopefully, the added exposure of the Deacon remix will boost sales enough to let these so called Flaming Lips have a long, eclectic, and successful career.
