Deap Lips release new single "Home Thru Hell"
Deap Lips, the collaborative project of Deap Vally and Flaming Lips, have released new single "Home Thru Hell" from their forthcoming self-titled album.
"Home Thru Hell" is the group's second single, after last month's debut track "Hope Hell High".
Speaking about how the collaboration came about, Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne says, "I can’t remember exactly when I became aware of Deap Vally... but let’s say it was sometime just before I saw them play. I was in Raleigh visiting with the creator of the World’s Largest Gummy Bear, and so getting to experience Deap Vally was just one more cool thing of many cool things that were happening to me. Deap Vally really rocked the mostly all dude crowd that was there to scream to WolfMother. I met Lindsey that night and we both were glad we met. Deap Vally got my phone number and about a year later hit me up, out of the blue ..and invited themselves to come to Oklahoma City and jam with us and maybe come up with a couple songs for their "collaboration" album that they were working on."
Coyne adds, "They showed up with no songs so Steven [Drozd] and I quickly threw together a song and set about playing and tracking and singing and rewriting lyrics and before we knew it we, surprisingly, had a great, great track. Which would become the opening track off the record "Home Thru Hell". The session in Oklahoma City was fun and spontaneous and a very lucky kind of magic happened...we stumbled upon some really great, catchy, cool songs. They came up with "Shit Talkin" (third song on the album) and Dennis (our engineer) suggested we re-work an old StarDeath and White Dwarfs song (his band he started in 2005) called "The Birth" and that turned into "There Is Know Right There Is Know Wrong". When our couple of days together had ended we all felt like, somehow, something had just begun."
