Video: Flaming Lips & Bon Iver to release "Ashes in the Air" video on Christmas

Even though the Flaming Lips aren’t playing their New Year’s Eve Freakout here in their hometown of Oklahoma City this year, fans still can have a psychedelic holiday encounter with the experimental rockers.

The Lips and Bon Iver plan to release the music video for “Ashes in the Air,” their collaboration from the 2012 duets album “The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends,” on Christmas Day, the Lips announced on Twitter (@theflaminglips).

The bands released over the weekend a making-of clip for “Ashes in the Air.” Judging from the sneak peek, it looks like Lips frontman Wayne Coyne will rescue an alien baby in the video.  Sounds just like something he would do, especially on Christmas.
