The Flaming Lips Release Rare Audio Track ENTHUSIASM FOR LIFE DEFEATS EXISTENTIAL FEAR PART 2
By: Macon Prickett May. 25, 2018
The Flaming Lips release yet another rare audio track, "Enthusiasm For Life Defeats Existential Fear Part 2," from their upcoming June 1 Warner Bros. Records release, GREATEST HITS VOL. 1 Deluxe Edition. For those who have pre-ordered the collection, you'll receive an instant download of the track today. Prior to GREATEST HITS VOL. 1, "Enthusiasm For Life Defeats Existential Fear Part 2" existed only on a USB drive -- along with two other tracks -- buried within the edible Gummy Fetus sold on tour in 2011.
As previously announced, the 3-CD, 52-song Deluxe Edition is a treasure trove of singles, obscure cuts and rarities, many of which have never been available before this release. A single black vinyl album featuring eleven singles will also be available.
In other LIPS news, Steven Drozd has created a podcast that covers their 35-year recorded career titled, SORCERERS ORPHAN PODCAST: A Song By Song History of The Flaming Lips. This multi-part series will illustrate their inimitable and out there creative process covering their aural oeuvre in their own dulcet tones.
