Yoko Ono and The Flaming Lips have teamed up to announce that they will be releasing a holiday 7″ this Christmas. According to Pitchfork, the record will feature two previously released tracks that will be available through Chimera Music on December 11th. Both artists have been working on multiple collaborations over the past year. Ono’s most recent album featured Death Cab For Cutie, tUnE-yArDs and Portugal, while The Flaming Lips will begin their upcoming tour with Miley Cyrus next week.
The tracklist for Yoko Ono & The Flaming Lips’ holiday 7″ is as follows:
01. “Happy Xmas, (War Is Over)”

Ono and The Flaming Lips first got together to collaborate on the tracks back in 2011, and performed both of them at a New Years Eve concert that same year.

Wayne Coyne, frontman of The Flaming Lips, uploaded this picture of the lyrics sheet for “Atlas Eets Christmas” on Twitter after the show.
