The Flaming Lips – Pitchfork Interview

The Flaming Lips‘ multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd spoke to Pitchfork recently about their upcoming record, The Terror. As the creative force behind the album, Steven touched upon the origins of the record’s “dreary and bleak” tones. He also revealed that the group took a different approach compared to their collaborative Heady Fwends effort by staying “insulated” and not allowing a lot of outside influences. One group that did make an appearance on the batch of songs that came out of the recording process was Phantogram, who lent a hand with pre-order, bonus track “Sun Blows Up Today” – which has been with radio for some weeks now. Read the full interview here. “Sun Blows Up Today” will not be on the full-length album so this will be the only chance to chart it to CMJ before the record comes out.
