Flaming Lips Perform Tiny Desk Concert In Their Signature Bubbles

The Flaming Lips performed four songs in a new NPR Tiny Desk concert from their Oklahoma hideout. As you’d expect from the alt veterans, they performed safely inside of their signature bubbles.

They performed a couple of tunes from American Head, their latest studio album that’s out now and a couple of favorites from over the years.
