The Flaming Lips have announced their 17th studio album, The Teardrop Throbs, set for release on January 22, 2027, via Third Man Records. This marks the band's first album since 2020's American Head and their first following the departure of Steven Drozd. The album was produced by the band with Taylor Johnson, Dave Fridmann, and Scott Booker, with additional production from Jon Fridmann and Mike Fridmann.
The first single, God Will Control The Werewolves, has been released alongside details of a tour in January, February, and April across cities including Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and London. Frontman Wayne Coyne described the song as inspired by a game of hide and seek with his sons Bloom and Rex under a full moon, and likened its sound to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon with Syd Barrett still in the band.
