Nell Smith and THE FLAMING LIPS Release NICK CAVE Covers Album

27 November 2021

Nell Smith and THE FLAMING LIPS have unveiled their new album Where the Viaduct Looms.

The studio set finds the 13-year-old musician and psychedelic rock band teaming up to deliver nine NICK CAVE covers, including the previously-released singles “Girl in Amber” and “The Ship Song.”

Interestingly, Smith first met the band three years ago after becoming an instantly-recognizable regular at FLAMING LIPS shows thanks to her penchant for wearing a parrot costume. Corresponding with the teen through her father, lead singer Wayne Coyne encouraged Smith to learn guitar and take a stab at writing her own songs.
