My God. I can’t believe I am four days late on this. I have been waiting for this to come out for almost a year. I don’t know if anyone else is a fan, but on October 13th, The Flaming Lips released yet another (#12) genius album; Embryonic. With eighteen tracks, plus four itunes bonus tracks, “Baeblemusic explains in their review that, “the experimental ear-gobbling licks are not meant to make total sense. They are meant to spook and mystify, and where At War with the Mystics imploded, the incubated tracks of Embryonic radiate with life.”’ When I heard about the release of this new album, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that MGMT and Karen O would be helping with a few of their tracks. As I listened to the album in entirety, my favorite way of listening to any new album, I said to Alexa, “I feel the energy.” And I did, I truly did. I felt as though I was traveling through space, looking for adventure. This spacey, ethereal sound is what sparked my interest in The Flaming Lips about seven years ago. My very first Flaming Lips song that I heard when I was fourteen or so was “Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell” from the album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and I instantly fell in love. On this new album, I especially like the songs “Silver Trembling Hands” and “Gemini Syringes.” The latter is as smooth as something from Radiohead’s In Rainbows. The one you can listen to above is called “Silver Trembling Hands.” Enjoy.
