Click here for a deeper inside view into the making of OCZY MLODY.
Three-time Grammy-Award winners, THE FLAMING LIPS are one of the most enduring, influential, unpredictable, and universally respected bands of their generation or any other. Led by Coyne, they have been cited as the ultimate live attraction and life-affirming festival band who continue to dazzle audiences with their over-the-top, maximalist, high-energy onslaught on the senses. On OCZY MLODY, THE LIPS return to form with an album no less experimental in nature, but perhaps more melodically song-oriented, recalling the best parts of their most critically applauded albums THE SOFT BULLETIN and the gold- certified YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS.
OCZY MLODY is available for pre-order beginning today. Fans who pre-order the digital format of the album or the cd or vinyl format from the band’s official website, will receive an instant download of “The Castle” immediately and three more tracks in advance of the January 13th album release date. The album will be released in several configurations: a 12-song CD, a 12-song digital version as well as a 12- song double-LP vinyl edition — pressed on colored vinyl and an 11-song single-LP vinyl edition (both of which include a digital download card of all 12 songs on OCZY MLODY), There is also a 7” red vinyl single of the band’s cover of David Bowie’s "Space Oddity" b/w “Jest (There Is…)” and numerous other special offers available through http://www.flaminglips.com/.
THE LIPS have also shot a video for the album track “The Castle” which launches today. Filmed in Oklahoma City, the seemingly simple image is as emotionally affecting as the song itself. Click here to view and share “The Castle”.
