I'm a longtime fan of The Flaming Lips, and it this point i'm in for the long haul, but the output of the last few years has not been my favorite. I can dig on the experimentation, but it's been almost a decade since i really liked a Lips record ("Heady Fwends"), and even longer since i've loved one ("Embryonic"). All that being said, the band's new single, "Flowers of Neptune 6," featuring Kacey Musgraves on backing vocals is just lovely. It harkens back to the turn of the century sounds of "Soft Bulletin," but without feeling like a complete retread. And the video has Wayne back in the bubble, which i suppose is a good place to be these days. Check it out below.
