New Flaming Lips - "Convinced Of The Hex" & "Silver Trembling Hands"
As reported, MGMT and Karen O show up on the Flaming Lips' forthcoming double album Embryonic, but as far as I can tell, they don't show up on either the shuffling "Convinced Of The Hex" or the echoing "Silver Trembling Hands." "Convinced" comes with an interestingly unhinged, busy pace. The dreamy "Silver" hits more like epics of Flaming Lips past, but check out the Kraut-style percussion. The two tracks are both at Covert Curiosity. The also show up -- along with "The Impulse" and three B-sides -- on the above pictured digital EP, which you can get when purchasing tickets online for certain Lips summer shows.
Embryonic is out in 9/29 on Warner Bros.

liking bands who have no talent does not make you cool or unique. just a different cliche.

^^^ Never heard the Soft Bulletin. Sure, they touch on some Flink Floyd sounds on Mystics, but their best stuff is pretty incomparable to anything

Score = 2
abso...lutely
Score = 2
Yeah, Wayne's singing sounds a little lower and a bit more focused these days. I like it! Convinced of the Hex and Silver Trembling Hands are a bit darker and "open-spaced" than their past couple of records...also grittier production. It's a nice change. Even though I'm generally skeptical when it comes to double albums (except Wilco's Being There), I'm super excited to hear the rest of the record!

Their benchmark is so high.If you don't like a certain song they will simply dazzle ysou with some other. They have played the most memorable concerts too. Just such a wondrous band.
