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 [...]

Desde hace algunas semanas ha estado circulando un leak del nuevo álbum de The Flaming Lips , el cual rápidamente ha estado siendo retirado de la red, aunque me parece que ya en estos momentos es practicamente imposible detener que se siga esparciendo por todos lados antes de que llegue la fecha oficial del lanzamiento de "The Horror". pero para todos aquellos que aún no hemos caído en la tentación del leak, el día de hoy NPR ha puesto a nuestra disposición un segundo adelanto de este material de The Flaming Lips , el cual llega [...]
The only great thing to ever come from Oklahoma (trust me, I have lived there my whole life) - The Flaming Lips - have finally announced a new studio album! Not some crazy side project that involves fetuses or a 24-hour song ! A studio album! Set to release on April 2nd, the new Lips album is said by the band to be darker or more dissonant than previous releases. The Terror is a bold and expressive journey that has evolved over The [...]

Desde que sacaron "Embryonic", The Flaming Lips ha estado haciendo un montón de cosas bien raras que por lo regular tienen que ver con el consumo de muchas drogas, semen, drogas, sangre, y cosas más extrañas que tienen que ver con cráneos, vaginas, desnudos, y granadas. Anyways, tal parece que este 1 de Abrl la banda puede regresar a su estado de tranquilidad, o mucho menos experimental, ya que ese día estarán poniendo a la venta su nuevo álbum de larga duración titulado "The Terror", mismo del que seguramente en un par de días mas podremos escuchar [...]
Win our top 31 albums of 2012 ! The tagline for Pepe Deluxé 's Queen of the Wave reads "an esoteric pop opera in three parts," and everything about the album - from the pop art cover, to the space-age/baroque pop/neo-psychedlic composition, to the "Dweller on Two Planets"-inspired story - testifies to the record's premeditated maximalism. As rewarding as it is dense, Queen of the Wave is an album easily worth a hundred listens, as every one reveals [...]
(Note: The title might seem misleading if you know the album already, but The Oklahoman psych-noise-punk band The Flaming Lips aren't really on this album. Rather, they push the bands responsible for each track to their limit, with Wayne Coyne (lead singer/guitarist) overseeing the entire project. Without The Flaming Lips, this album doesn't happen. They are only featured on "Epitaph", which features every band in the project.) Now that that's out of the way... The album consists of covers from other bands, such as New Fumes , Spaceface , Linear Downfall [...]
The contrast between a band's popularity in different countries tends to baffle me. Here in Australia, you've got guys like Guy Sebastian and Matt Corby who pretty much rule their respective scenes down under. But then once you bring them to the States, their fan base is barely a fraction of that. Ball Park Music is a very similar case, which is why this Intro post is a bit unconventional: with 23,000+ Facebook fans and the ability to sell out shows [...]
It goes without saying that the fall mixtape is my favorite of the year. I've spent the last two weeks narrowing this down to what hopefully will be as rad to hear on your end as it is each time I listen through it on mine. Getting the closest friends, setting your destination for the [...]
A couple of weeks ago Pitchfork revealed their People's List , an interactive list of the best albums that have been released since the site's formation in 1996. Their database to pull from was extensive, and if there was something you wanted to add to your own list but they didn't have it, you could just add it yourself. So I got the team together and we fleshed out our top 100 albums from 1996-2011 over the course of the last seven days, but instead of just making the list I went one further and [...]
![[Listen] Father John Misty: "Do You Realize??" (The Flaming Lips Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4367921_lg.jpg)
El album debut de Father John Misty es uno de esos que en su momento me causaron un poco de morbo, y un poco de intriga, ya que en realidad el sonido que maneja este tipo dentro de este material no es uno tan diferente al que le escuchamos mientras formaba parte de Fleet Foxes asi que... algo muy pero muy extraño pudo pasar por ahi, o simplemente tuvieron algunos meltdowns internos. Pero bueno, esto no es lo que les vengo a informar el dia de hoy, ya que Father John Misty ha sido el mas [...]
The new Flaming Lips collaborative album is surprisingly cohesive and coherent despite it's insane gauntlet of guests both big and small. WATCH THE REVIEW
Listen to The Flaming Lips cover The Beach Boys ' classic "God Only Knows" . We've already heard The Beach Boys ' newest track last week, and now The Flaming Lips have just surprised us with an unexpected cover of "God Only Knows" off of one of the greatest pop albums, The Beach Boys ' "Pet Sounds" . The tune is almost nothing like the original, as the avant-garde rockers made the record completely their own, trading the sunny harmonies [...]
Nothing but non-stop insanity coming through on this new visual from the Flaming Lips and Prefuse 73 collaborative track, "Supermoon Made Me Want To Pee." The track comes from the new collaboration-laden Flaming Lips album, the Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends , which is out now on Warner Brothers.

Bueno, este fin de semana la cantidad de noticias en torno a The Flaming Lips fue realmente abismal debido a sus multiples lanzamientos del Record Store Day los cuales involucraban un album lleno de colaboraciones asi como un split con Mastodon pero ademas, aprovecharon el momento para dar a conocer un cover que le hicieron a The Beach Boys como parte de un tributo de " Pet Sounds" que organizo la revista Mojo y como seguramente esto ya lo habran checado, el dia de hoy decidi venir a dejarles una de mis colaboraciones [...]
![[Listen] Mastodon: "A Spoonful Weighs A Ton" (The Flaming Lips Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4216361_lg.jpg)
Apenas ayer por la mañana nos encontramos con una de las grata 'sorpresas' tan anunciadas del Record Store Day por medio del split que decidio preparar Mastodon con Feist en el cual se estarian covereando entre ellos y por si no han llegado a escuchar sus respectivas versiones de "Black Tongue" y "A Commotion" les recomiendo que vayan a checar esas versiones dentro de eso que decidieron llamar como ' Feistodon ' para que despues se metan de lleno dentro de este otro lanzamiento especial de Mastodon exclusivamente hecho para el Record Store Day [...]

THE FLAMING LIPS and BON IVER collaborated for Record Store Day . Remember? Well behold, ‘Ashes in the Air,’ the first full track to be dropped from the album, The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends . Oh god this is weird. This is really really weird. Didn’t you expect this though? Shouldn’t you have known better than to NOT have expected 6 minutes of Bon Iver and [...]
EDWARD SHARPE AND THE MAGNETIC ZEROS are some hard working little binary bees. Over the past 12 months, they’ve been in the studio recording their own forthcoming LP, have collaborated with The Flaming Lips for Record Store Day and have been jammin’ around the country on the Big Easy Express . ‘That’s What’s Up’ is a sweet little ditty. There’s odd atmospheric sounds including jangling “Am I in the desert?” guitars, there’s upbeat, romantic vocals from Alex Ebert [...]
Wollongong singer/ songwriter Jack R Reilly likens listening to his music to “falling asleep to a John Hughes film while it’s raining heavy outside, then dreaming about Winona Ryder” and I would concur. Get ready to “naaawww” people - this guy is adorable . Reilly weaves intimate stories through his striped back songs, usually only incorporating guitar and vocals. His songs have a neurotic honesty to them, which draw you in with his dulcet tones. These are the kind of songs that make you want to drink scotch late at night looking out into [...]
