Artist: The Flaming Lips

Frank Yang Though I'm probably a bit late to the Caitlin Rose party, her 2010 full-length debut Own Side Now having completely flown under my radar, I'm thankful that I was able to get it into my ears earlier this year before her follow-up The Stand-In came out because it gave me a reference point to appreciate just how good The Stand-In is. Which is not to say that there's anything wrong with Own Side Now at all - it's [...]

Next Tuesday, Flaming Lips will release their long-awaited new album, The Terror. Though the band has been constantly busy with side-projects over the last several years to tide their freaky fan... Continue reading "The Flaming Lips Keep Right On Terrorizing Mainstream Rock" >

Already out in the UK and dropping Stateside on 16 April, The Flaming Lips have decided to stream new record The Terror online in full. Following on from 20092s Embryonic , as well as last year's collaborative LP The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends,  Wayne Coyne and co return for their 13th studio effort. It's streaming in its entirety right now over at NPR , with Best Fit's review of the record here . It was [...]

Just in case you missed the stream the first time around, The Flaming Lips are currently streaming their new album via NPR . "It's an interesting step for a band that has always had a visual side as much as a musical one. Previously, that visual side was characterised by Wayne Coyne, inside a giant bubble, floating his way to the stage or pouring fake blood over across his face. With The Terror, the visual side is in the imagery the music creates: and its sound is cohesive, powerful and emotive." [...]

The Flaming Lips' new album, The Terror , is streaming in full one week ahead of its official release date (April 16th via Warner Bros). Take a listen at NPR.org . As the band's website notes, the album is comprised 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 — but then again, maybe not. It’s up to you, the listener, to decide what it means to you." It was self-produced alongside longtime collaborator Dave Fridmann, and marks the [...]

La banda comandada por Wayne Coyne desplegó, una vez más, toda su psicodelia durante una presentación en el programa televisivo de David Letterman. Mirá el video en esta nota. El grupo interpretó una canción titulada Look… The Sun Is Rising, perteneciente a su nuevo álbum de estudio titulado The Terror, que será lanzado el próximo 16 de abril por Warnes Bros. The Flaming Lips con David Letterman [...]

Como habitual, por cá fica o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana que terminou foi, uma vez mais, uma selecção dos melhores sons alternativos que estão à nossa disposição em 2013 e anos anteriores. Começaram logo por marcar o dia 1º de Abril, sem nenhuma mentira, os Vondelpark com "California Analog" para começar bem o dia, seguidos

Minneapolis three piece, Night Moves wear their influences well. At times there's a strong air of Soft Bulletin -era Flaming Lips about them, a splash of Beachwood Sparks , a whiff of  Neil Young and Crazy Horse and a more than vague nod in the direction of 19602s Laurel Canyon rock too. But nothing ever seems overly heavy-handed. Late last month their debut album,  Colored Emotions [...]

Mucho han cambiado las cosas para Wayne Coyne y The Flaming Lips desde que publicaron en 1999 The Soft Bulletin , el disco más trascendental de su carrera, un trabajo cargado de misterio pero también de luz, con melodías sencillas que acompañaban a las reflexiones filosóficas del grupo. Es muy posible que The Terror no guste a muchos de los seguidores que esperaban un regreso a la música que les convirtió en el grupo que son. Este álbum es oscuro , atmosférico en algunos momentos y recrea unos paisajes depresivos, un mundo maquinal e [...]

Longtime Napa residents and businessmen Bob Vogt and Gabe Meyers think that as important as Napa County has been for the Bay Area in terms of food and wine, entertainment is extremely lacking. Meyers, a 42-year-old sports media producer, and Vogt, a 63-year-old lawyer and commercial real estate developer – he’s one of the principal owners of Napa’s Uptown Theatre – believe the city and region should represent more than a good meal and spa day. “You can only have so many great meals and so much great wine before you’re like, ‘I have to work [...]

Rivelazione a sorpresa di Wayne Coyne su un progetto con Ke$ha... Il secondo album di Ke$ha , Warrior, non è stato un successo di pubblico. Anzi, nonostante il grande successo iniziale del singolo "Die Young", il disco è andato incontro ad un cocente flop nelle classifiche. Uscito il 20 novembre 2012, nella sua settimana di debutto ha raggiunto solamente la sesta posizione per poi precipitare nelle settimane successive, vendendo solo 85.000 copie. Non ha ottenuto la certificazione di disco d'oro ed è stato un fallimento se paragonato all'album Animal. Nemmeno i brani estratti nei mesi [...]

The Sun Is Rising" which is taken [...]

Luego de estrenar el video futurista-psicodélico en colaboración con Bon Iver para Ashes in the Air y a días de lanzar su nueva placa titulada The Terror vía Bella Union y Warner Bros, The Flaming Lips se presentó en el late night de David Letterman . Allí, con Wayne Coyne vestido de plateados tentáculos y [...]

Ke$ha Según reporta el portal canadiense Exclaim , The Flaming Lips y Ke$ha actualmente trabajan juntos en un álbum colaborativo el cual -tentativamente- se titulará Lip$ha . Esta noticia la dio a conocer el mismo Wayne Coyne durante un AmA en reddit , en donde mencionó que (ella) "es graciosa, es humilde, es desafiante, es asombrosa" . Aunque así lo parezca, esta colaboración no es sorprendente ya que la cantante pop apareció en el lanzamiento Heady Fwends que los [...]

El terrero llegó a Late Show with David Letterman, The Flaming Lips interpretan "Look... The Sun Is Rising" Ayer por la noche, The Flaming Lips visitaron el programa Late Show with David Letterman y ofrecieron una exhibición histórica.

Not to be outdone by Deerhunter's Fallon appearance , The Flaming Lips stopped by Letterman last night to deliver a whole new definition of weird. The band performed "Look...The Sun Is Rising" with their creepy, futuristic stage design while eccentric frontman Wayne Coyne caressed a baby doll. It's out there, but then again, this is The Flaming Lips. Let it haunt you above. The band also revealed in a Reddit chat that they are planning a collaborative album with Ke$ha, stating "SHe is a blast on all levels. She's funny, she's humble. She's [...]
