After At War With the Mystics came out, I was concerned that maybe The Flaming Lips were running out of ideas, as that album was merely a shadow of the greatness produced with The Soft Bulletin and, shit, even Clouds Taste Metallic. These two songs from the forthcoming double album Embryonic, due September 29, prove that that’s not the case. “Silver Trembling Hands” is a very tasty technicolor psychedelic excursion, half krautrock and half Ariel Pink. “Convinced of the Hex” sounds like mid-career Flaming Lips, as reinterpreted by the band’s current prowess and tunefulness. Enjoy!
