Flaming Lips

[AFX]

Allora, se vogliamo dividere i Flaming Lips in fasi, direi che la seconda comincia semmai con Hit to Death in the Future Head, che è il primo per la major Warner, e finisce con Clouds Taste Metallic, ovvero l'ultimo con Ronald Jones. Zaireeka è già qualcosa di diverso in cui cercano di reinventarsi, ponendo le basi per The Soft Bulletin.
I migliori Flaming Lips finiscono, direi legittimamente dopo una oltre che ventennale carriera, con Embryonic, che forse è il loro disco più avventuroso. In quel periodo stavano sotto coi Pink Floyd, e hanno fatto un album in cui ancora oggi ti puoi perdere dentro per quanto è bello e profondo.
Su Zaireeka dico che vorrei ascoltarlo senza dovermi piazzare in un parcheggio con quattro automobili uguali e con lo stesso impianto, a finestrini abbassati, che lo lanciano all'unisono. Vorrei che ne uscisse una versione in cui si potesse apprezzare per come lo volevano intendere.

The way I eventually found this to work best for a sit down listen was to hear out all four pieces of each song alone, THEN to try and hear them all together. This results in hearing a cool toned down version of the main song and usually three moody near ambient instrumentals. Some of the tracks this even results in what sound like related but independent pieces of music rather than just stuff that doesn't work on it's own. As much as building it up this is also a chance to build down if you want. Who says you have to hear all four? How about just three? Or even two? Which pieces you want is up to you entirely, and it changes songs from simple acousticish stuff to many layered fuzz symphonies! Have it your way!

Third Man Records is thrilled to welcome psychedelic rock mainstays The Flaming Lips to the label, and to announce their new album, The Teardrop Throbs. Out January 22nd, it is available to pre-order now on black vinyl, limited edition blue vinyl and CD. The first single “God Will Control The Werewolves” is available to stream everywhere.
Six years after their last studio album, Teardrop finds the group issuing a stark reminder to the public of what made them mandatory listening for the better part of the last half century: lush arrangements coupled with exquisite production and songwriting that’s been distilled over time and has achieved fully optimized power.
The Flaming Lips will introduce fans to the world of The Teardrop Throbs with a series of intimate performances across the United States and in the United Kingdom. Tickets will go on sale October 30.


Few bands have the legacy, continued insistence on innovative impact, cultural mainstay potency, and creative staying power that the Flaming Lips have accrued since their formation in 1983. Given their status in the cultural zeitgeist, it’s nigh-on-impossible to believe it’s already been 6 years since the band's last studio album.

Third Man Records is thrilled to announce the stunning new album from the psychedelic rock hero mainstays, The Teardrop Throbs.

Teardrop… finds the group issuing a stark reminder to the public of what made them mandatory listening for the better part of the last half century: lush arrangements coupled with exquisite production and songwriting that's been distilled over time and has achieved fully optimized power. Wayne Coyne darts from poignant and direct on “Every Teardrop Cried” to more melancholy and somber notes on tracks like “The Trees Are Getting Their Leaves”.

The Teardrop Throbs will release on January 22nd 2027 on black vinyl, limited "Teardrop Blue" vinyl, CD, and digital streaming platforms.
