With a little help from their friends

Flaming Lips, eat your hearts out. Ahead of the release of their comeback album No Cities To Love, the reformed Sleater-Kinney have roped in a whole host of people for a mixtape called Rip City Queens. The trio's heady fwends include Lydia Lunch, Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson and Antony Hegarty, who are part of an enormous cast appearing on a track called 'Gaslight U Back', and Panda Bear and Eddie Vedder, both involved in 'All Hands On The Bad One (DJ Snake remix)'. A perfect way to whet our appetites, or a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth? We'll have to wait and see.
