Nell Smith was a young British born singer who recorded an album of Nick Cave cover songs entitled, Where The Viaduct Looms (2021), with The Flaming Lips as her backing band. Smith had been attending Flaming Lips gigs for three years and caught the attention of frontman Wayne Coyne after being spotted at the gigs with her father several times. The pair eventually exchanged contact details and recorded the covers album together remotely during the pandemic. Smith was only 13 years old during the recording of the album (and 14 by the time it came out, in November 2021). The album is formally credited to Nell, but most scrobbles on Last.fm are for Nell Smith or Nell Smith & The Flaming Lips.
