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.
