Last fall saw the release of Where The Viaduct Looms, a collaborative album by the Flaming Lips and a teenage Lips superfan named Nell Smith. Smith, a teenager from Fernie, British Columbia, struck up a friendship with the band after becoming a regular at Lips shows with her parents in the late 2010s. This somehow led to her recording an entire album remotely with Wayne Coyne and friends during the pandemic — specifically, an album of Nick Cave covers. Coyne suggested the material because Smith was unfamiliar with Cave’s work and he was curious to hear how a young novice would interpret the material.
