While The Flaming Lips have never been shy to innovative ways to put out new music, from gummy fetus USBs to four discs to be played at once, the gentlemen have taken a bit of an unexpected turn with their forthcoming LP, The Aliens Smell Like Weed But They Aren’t Sharing, which will be solely released via the internal entertainment system of the 2022 Toyota Prius beginning in May. Current Prius owners will also find the album loaded upon connecting Android Auto or Apple CarPlay where appropriate.

The initiative comes during a time where gas prices remain high and a push toward green energy is a major policy issue. The band hopes to help consumers consider fuel-efficient vehicles in a new light by incentivizing them with an equally-green album of 22 tracks.

The Toyota Prius is a hatchback hybrid car that has been produced since 2003. Its name comes from the Latin term for “forerunner”, and in many ways it has garnered itself a following as being one of the most noteworthy vehicles in its class. The 2022 Prius is available in eight trim levels, from ones suitable for first-time buyers to the exclusive Nightshade edition trims. Most shoppers will recognize the unique Sea Glass Pearl color that this car is best known for.

The AWD-e feature is one of the most exciting features in the new model year, giving drivers the unique ability to turn AWD on and off at with ease. Other new notable features include a combined 56 mpg rating and nearly 51 cubic feet of cargo space.

When it comes to accolades, the Prius has been awarded the NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating badge and is included in Kelley Blue Book’s award for Best Resale Value.

The Prius starts at an MSRP of $24,625 which puts it a bit higher than other hatchbacks like the Kia Soul or Honda Fit, but the enhanced fuel economy, safety rating, and abundant technical features make it a great choice for commuters and travelers alike.
