that you, from sheer muscle memory and all of that, are going to play the right note and do the thing that you want to do.The Flaming Lips are planning to create a song a month in 2011, releasing the tracks as downloads, singles or perhaps on, er, cereal boxes. "Amidst all the chaos it can be when you're playing live. "There are groups that go out there every night and sort of make it up as they go, but I personally am not that caliber of a musician," Coyne explains. The group's set list won't vary much from night to night because he likes finding a song sequence that works well and sticking to that. Coyne says that the Ozsy Mlody songs the Flaming Lips have played live so far seem to be going over well with audiences. The new album is still quite trippy, but tunes like "The Castle" and "How?" are concise and accessible. Oczy Mlody brings back more of the pop-leaning sound of Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi. But the more adventurous and experimental side of the Lips' music was never completely left behind, especially pronounced on the group's last two studio albums, Embryonic (2009) and The Terror (2013). The albums The Soft Bulletin (1999) and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002), in particular, found Coyne and his main songwriting collaborator, multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd, grafting sharply crafted Beatles-esque pop melodies onto their lush, synth-laced songs. And the group, which formed in 1983 in Oklahoma City, has evolved its music into a trippy, whimsical, multi-layered psychedelic pop-rock hybrid that fits the absurdist visual vibe of the stage show.
Of course, to make the visuals work, the Flaming Lips need to deliver on a musical level. And the fact that is this bizarre plastic thing is even better."
Seeing endless possibility in this yard toy, Coyne bought his own and immediately began tricking it out: "We put the big LED displays and all that stuff, and it just really worked out, and we found a way to make the dollies they can push me around on and all that. We'd done photo shoots and all that," Coyne says of Cyrus' backyard accoutrement. "We'd done videos with her plastic horse. You know, when we first went to Miley Cyrus' house in Hollywood, she has this big plastic horse in her backyard."Ĭyrus, the child star-turned pop-rock renegade, has become a frequent musical collaborator with Coyne and the Lips, appearing on several of the group's songs (including "We-A-Family" on Oczy Mlody), and, most notably, working with the Flaming Lips on her 2015 release, Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz. "I'm always thinking what can I do while the song is playing, and that just seemed like such an obvious thing. It's got a really great vibe for it," Coyne says. "Well, we have this song that says there should be unicorns ('There Should Be Unicorns') and we really like the track. One rather prominent moment involves a unicorn. Now touring again, the Flaming Lips have new songs to play – courtesy of new studio album, Oczy Mlody – and some new onstage stunts in store for audiences. And then we would just do that in our show, so every show would look like this giant New Year's Eve celebration – which it should," he says. "I think every year that we were doing those, we would sort of do what we were doing the year before, only more.
