King's Mouth coincidentally takes the same name as Coyne's art installation that merges his elaborate props into an audio/visual experience.

Over summer, Coyne and co released two compilations full of remastered tracks, rare recordings and early sessions from the psych outfit.

The Flaming Lips' King's Mouth will be arriving 13 April 2019. They still have a couple of upcoming shows in the US. Find out more.
