As the start of a new year brings curious wonder, it seems almost too perfect that the Flaming Lips set to release their new album Oczy Mlody. Never ones to short on wonder that leaves us all curious, the band does not disappoint this this new release. From the first track to the very last, this album is a ride, one that you are not sure how you feel by the end of it. Ready to drop on January 13th , the album will take listeners back to the psychedelic side of music. Put together very well with lyrics that will surprise even dedicated fans, but hold true to the Lips style. Lyrics are really the back bone of this album, though you may be distracted at first by the vibrant instrumentals that are a recognized style of the band, the lyrics of songs like The Castle and Sunrise (Eyes of the Young) will make you spend days trying to decipher what is going on in the head of front man Wayne Coyne. Not many bands can pull off such animated instrumentals with such question raising lyrics, but the band makes it look as simple as breathing.
