The Flaming Lips to Release Valentine's Day Album; Do We Even Need to Tell You It's a USB Stick Encased in a Chocolate Heart?

Just because they’re putting out a new studio album in April and just went mainstream (again) with a Super Bowl commercial, doesn’t mean The Flaming Lips have gotten out of the bizarre-music-release-format business. In fact, they’re basically a candy company now, following up their Gummy Song Skull EP with a just-announced Valentine’s Day album packaged inside an anatomically correct human heart cooked up by a company called Dude, Sweet Chocolate and comprised of “72% South American dark chocolate studded with hazelnut mini whoppers and waffle cone crunch.” Titled simply Songs of Love, the album itself is a compilation of previously released tracks and covers, and will come on a USB stick.

Here’s the tracklist:

1. “Love Is Mind Control” (feat. Stardeath and White Dwarfs)
2. “Be My Head”
3. “Can’t Exist”
4. “Hit Me Like You Did the First Time”
5. “Let Me Be It”
6. “Moth in the Incubator”
7. “Sunship Balloons”
8. “Thanks to You”
9. “Spiderbite Song”
10. “When You Smile”
11. “With You”
12. “Pomeii am Gotterdammerung”
13. “What Is the Light?”
14. “Just Above Love”
15. “All You Need Is Love” (feat. Alex and Jade of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros)
