[Watch] The Flaming Lips visit Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

There's never a dull moment when that moment involves Wayne Coyne and last night was no different as he visited the studios of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. There with The Flaming Lips to perform Terror featuring track "Try to Explain", they also laid down a cover of David Bowie's "Heroes". Coyne was pretty much starkers for the performances. Before stripping off though he did seem to enjoy and entertaining game of pictionary with Fallon, Demi Lovato, and Julie Bowen. 

"Try To Explain" is above with the cover and pictionary shenanigans after the jump.

[Listen] Mount Kimbie - "You Took Your Time" Feat. King Krule

Teaming up with the young and talented King Krule, Mount Kimbie offer up "You Took Your Time" from their forthcoming album Cold Spring Fault Less Youth. The duo offer up the jazz like drums while Krule's croon carries every bit of the track forward. The James Blake type sounds of the beat paired up with the vocal kind of reminds me of The Streets in a way. I think all of us at SKoA just have a longing for Mike Skinner to return to his former self. However, I've found it hard not to enjoy anything Archy touches and this track is no different. Check out his mesmerizing part in this collaboration below.

Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is due out May 28th via Warp Records.

[Download] Splashh - "Today (Fade Away)"

Splassh have offered up a lovely sounding free download that is actually the B-side to "All I Wanna Do", the first single to be taken off their upcoming album Comfort. I've really been enjoying their sun tinged guitars. Well I was until the UK weather decided to revert back to bleak and grey. Still, it's nice to get away from all of that with some new music from this band to brighten the day. Get away from the dreary reality you're living and grab the free download via the stream below.

Comfort is set for release on the 2nd of September via Luv Luv Luv Records and we look forward to hearing some more previews prior to its release.
