Vessels announce new album, release Flaming Lips collaboration
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 30 June 2017
Vessels have announced that their fourth album, ‘The Great Distraction’, will be out on 29 Sep. The record will feature collaborations with John Grant, Django Django’s Vincent Neff, Sky Larkin’s Harkin, and The Flaming Lips – the latter of whom appear on new single ‘Deflect The Light’.
“Working with The Flaming Lips was a highlight of this whole process”, says the band’s Pete Wright. “There is no facade; Wayne Coyne lives and breathes the very same eccentricity and optimism that pervades The Flaming Lips’ music, and our entire correspondence start to finish has been a torrent of enthusiasm and silliness”.
He added: “They latched on to the spirit of the music we sent and then amplified it a thousand times over, drenching it in their unmistakeable identity but never eclipsing ours. I am so proud of what we made together”.
