FLAMING LIPS NEW LP TO FEATURE MGMT & KAREN O

Flaming Lips new double LP entitled Embryonic to feature both MGMT & Karen O?!

Rumours have been strife of such news and it seems they are returning to days when their music was weird and oh so bohemian!According to frontman Wayne Coyne:

“For us, making a double record means that there’s more room to be strange,” Coyne said. “When you are making a very precise ten or eleven tracks, you want a really focused mood with an arc in it.

Whereas I think with a double record, you’re allowed to be abstract, freaky and unfocused – and that appealed to us. We really wanted to have the songs overtake us.”

The result is a more “groove”-focused album that fans, Coyne warned, ” and fans might not even recognise us [as The Flaming Lips]“.

Alongside cameos by Karen O and MGMT, there are also contributions from a “weird mathematician guy from Germany”.

He does “some spoken word stuff”, Coyne says.
