For his next album, Ben Lee found an unlikely creative partner in Harmony Korine, the man whose twisted visions have brought the world films like "Kids" and "Gummo."

Lee hooked up with Korine to pen the song "Breathing Tornados," the title track to his similarly misspelled upcoming album which is expected to arrive in February of next year.

"I've just known him for a few years, and this was just one of the those things," Lee said before taking the stage at New York's Irving Plaza Saturday for a Grand Royal Records showcase at the annual CMJ Music Marathon.

Lee will next be spotted playing some dates in his native Australia, and hopes to launch a U.S. tour early next year near the release of "Breathing."
