The Flaming Lips have nothing left to prove. They've been through all of the stages necessary for "legendary" status: off-their-feet noise rock band, underground group-du-jour, psych-pop hit-makers, experimental neo-psychedelia collective, and daily headline-making, Guinness Wo rld Record-breaking phenomenon. So, what does a band do when they have nothing left to prove? Anything they want. Equal parts beauty and aggression, The Terror is a confident, cohesive record from a band that reminds me time and time again why I love them. While other Flaming Lips records are full of instrumental bombast [...]
Villa Kang - "Jiro" [ mp3 ] from When The Future was Ultra Modern , out now: free download available from Villa Kang’s website Toronto producer/songwriter’s initial EP is an ambitious, free-wheeling, experimental celebration of futuristic electro-pop. Highly recommended. [...]

There really is little refuting the ambling, at times aimless nature of The Flaming Lips' latest, The Terror . And for a band of the sort of extolled stature to have been continually accredited to Wayne Coyne et al., it indubitably lacked a certain spark – that unmistakably ignited within their nigh on every previous. ( The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends not withstanding.) Thus it comes as something of a relief to hear them here return not so much to incendiary, as sultry 'n' smouldering ways as they themselves [...]
A biology class dissection is normally an easy, albeit squeamish, process to get through. The animal is long dead, and all you have to do is just slice, slide, open, and extract the organs and limbs you’ve been instructed to remove. But what if you make that first puncture and the fetal pig slips off the table, bouncing off the ground and ricocheting off the wall. You reach down to pick it up, only to discover you can’t get a good grip as it keeps sliding out of your grasp, bouncing once more. To make matters stranger, upon closer inspection [...]
THE FLAMING LIPS release their new album THE TERROR today; It is a very different album for THE LIPS and one that might benefit from explanation. Click here to view Wayne's point of view. In honor of the album, we have a brand new T-shirt design available via THE LIPS Official Store now. This brand new LIPS T-shirt features the beautiful Wayne Coyne along with the credo "Peace and Punk Rock," printed on an Alternative Apparel Destroyed 100% Cotton T-Shirt. In other words, this is high-end stuff. These are limited and will go fast. [...]
The Flaming Lips' new album The Terror is out today, and... well, it's pretty good, to be honest. Does anyone care? We hope so, but then, you couldn't blame them for not paying a great deal of attention, given that making actual music seems to be rather low on The Flaming Lips' list of priorities these days. As has been well documented, over the last couple of years the band has devolved into something of a traveling sideshow, a sort of ongoing publicity stunt for the titillation of the music press. Is their latest album good enough to [...]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Ghost B.C. and Flaming Lips among today's offerings. The post New Releases: 4/16 appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .
I hate to break it to you, but you're gonna be heading toward Record Store Day this Saturday at a deficit. Why? Because there are too many excellent new releases coming out today that you'll want to pick up right now. First and foremost: the latest from Yeah Yeah Yeahs , whose fourth album our Music Director, Don Yates, hails as "their most musically adventurous and stylistically diverse, ranging from playful, unhinged rockers to buzzing, rhythm-driven electro-pop and moody, atmospheric ballads while also incorporating elements from a variety of other styles including hip hop, gospel and roots [...]
Flaming Lips release their fifteenth studio album, The Terror , today. Purchase: iTunes | Amazon "In 30 years of getting a contact high off the Beach Boys, the band has never had a Pet Sounds moment like “Try To Explain,” which wraps a gurgling echo chamber around Brian Wilson’s sandbox—Coyne’s plastic space bubble re-imagined as an isolating womb. The Terror is the sound of The Flaming Lips going from a group experience to an [...]

Portada del nuevo álbum de The Flaming Lips, 'The Terror'. Texto: @elbaxter El problema con las grandes bandas es que nos acostumbran a esperar cosas de ellos. Se dan el lujo de tomarse cuatro, cinco, diez años (o más) para brindarle a sus fans material nuevo. Generalmente este viene con una nueva propuesta estética de la banda. Pasa todo el tiempo. Los vocalistas casi siempre lucen distintos, su música muestra una evolución en cuanto a temática en las letras y su sonido cambia. Para nosotros, los mortales que los seguimos y [...]
Sure, everyone knows that Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" is about about his son falling from a window, Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" may or may not be about Warren Beatty, and "In the Air Tonight" is not about watching someone drown. But there are plenty of other less well-documented backstories behind popular songs — like the one that surfaced over the weekend about The Beatles' "Get Back" starting its life as a dubious satire called "No Pakistanis." Wisely, the band rewrote the lyrics before releasing the song, but it remains a pretty fascinating piece of history, and our [...]
Video: The Flaming Lips hablan sobre uno de los temas de The Terror, "You Are Alone" El nuevo disco de The Flaming Lips , The Terror , se compone de "nueve composiciones originales que reflejan un espectro de tonos más oscuros a diferencia de sus discos anteriores, junto con una perspectiva lírica más introspectiva de lo que podrías esperar". La naturaleza creativa y colaborativa de la banda sigue dando mucho de que hablar, aunque Wayne Coyne y Steven Drozd explican el concepto detrás de [...]
La trayectoria profesional de The Flaming Lips desde que debutaron en el año 1986 con Hear It Is ha sido bastante particular: para muchos ya han pasado a la historia como una banda de culto con menos reconocimiento del que merecen, pero hay gran parte del público al que solo les suena su nombre. Aunque no han conseguido un éxito masivo, la banda de Oklahoma ha sabido forjar un estilo propio e innegociable, pero que ha ido fluctuando en sus casi treinta años de carrera. A veces han sonado más rockeros, otra veces nítidamente [...]
The Flaming Lips' new album The Te rror is made up of “nine original compositions that reflect a darker-hued spectrum than previous works, along with a more inward-looking lyrical perspective than one might expect." The band's creative and collaborative nature still shines underneath the veil, though, as Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd explain in the latest installment of their new video series "We Don't Control the Control" , where the two musicians break down The Terror song by song. Discussing "You Are Alone", track six on the record, Drozd reveals [...]
Frank Yang The weather may have been nigh-on dreadful last Thursday night, but it was going to take more than Winter's last gasp to keep Toronto from venturing out to catch the long-awaited return of some colourfully-named Californians been pioneers at melding punk energy and pop sensibilities since adolescence. No, not Green Day at the Air Canada Centre, silly. I'm talking about Redd Kross at The Horseshoe. Though they returned to active duty in 2006 following a decade's hiatus, the Los Angeles-based band's activity has been somewhat sporadic, though it did include a somewhat [...]
