The Flaming Lips, Phantogram - You Lust

Après une bonne année d’aridité musicale, je reprends goût à la nouveauté. J’avoue avoir perdu foi en cet instant extatique, celui de la claque - à vrai dire, je n’y croyais plus. 

Il est 18h25, et un morceau vient de me surprendre (trop cool). C’est la première fois que je l’écoute, je n’ai donc pas de critique pointue et pédante à émettre. 

Je suis juste surprise, voilà tout.

REVIEW: The Flaming Lips - The Terror [Bella Union \ Warner Bros.]

For a band of a million gimmicks and confetti-flying shows, long-time veterans The Flaming Lips have a knack at crafting post-apocalyptic, psychedelia-drenched atmospheres that reek of decay and withdrawal from all good. With thirteen studio albums in, the Oklahoma City natives are one of rock’s most versatile acts starting from literally the bottom on their first five albums and have reached stadium-pounding status with an electric live act. 2009’s Embryonic was a sure, change of pace from the brighter neo-psychedelia and sure was an immediate indicator to what The Terror was going to hold, but last year’s collaboration album threw a lot of us off track when Wayne was taking Instagram photos with Ke$ha and was singing alongside Chris Martin on The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends. The Terror is a return to that daunting, menacing haze Embryonic was with sparse percussion, long-winded psychedelic freak-outs, and some great studio work.

Emptiness encompasses these daunting nine tracks, but not in a minimal sense, rather the way it makes you feel at the sinister end of 13-minute freak-out “You Lust.” Singer Wayne Coyne sings a tragically poignant line on “You Lust” alongside indie pop duo Phantogram; “The brightest light is the first to go.” That “brightest light” is nowhere on The Terror, perhaps the tomfoolery and nonsense the band has been up to was that light, now long gone in pursuance of a new, dark abyss. Coyne and company attempt to reach this light throughout The Terror but are struck down violently. Title track builds an ambient industrial feel and then the whaling guitars of multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd recklessly class into the mixture of synth, bass, and other studio wizardry.

One immediate difference in sound of The Flaming Lips on The Terror is the absence of thunderous drums excluding opener “Look…The Sun is Rising” and tail end of “Always There, In Our Hearts” despite the presence of two able drummers in the band. Though what percussion there is, it’s effectively managed, it still feels like some moments need that iconic Flaming Lips drum statement. “Try to Explain” is a gorgeous song, but the breakout of a killer drum beat at the apex of the song would have been something to marvel at. Most of the tracks, though, have simplistic bass drum beats, and the occasional clanking of cymbals or a snare roll.

Vocally Coyne is a bit pitchy as always, but a lot of his vocals get muddled down in the psychedelia, but it fits the mood of the LP, especially on “Be Free, a Way” where Coyne sounds like he’s singing through a megaphone amongst a layer of guitar-drenched audio waves. “You Are Alone” features Coyne reaching a falsetto that is unsettling alongside the spacey instrumentation. The Terror surely features some of Coyne’s most consistently passionate vocalizations, though he’s not musically the most talented, his iconic voice contain plenty of flavorful and yearning placement.

The Terror surely is not fun to listen to, but with repeated listens there’s a sinisterly rewarding feeling of having the patience for such a coarse, evil record. The Flaming Lips continue to curiously wander around the expanses of music from their fun-loving side on “The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song”, or their endurance on a 24-hour song, and their novelty with chocolate hearts containing music on Valentine’s Day, and now the dark recesses of sinister psychedelic rock.
