The Flaming Lips släpper ett nytt album med titeln The Terror. Pitchfork berättar att det Hultsfred-aktuella bandet, som inte släppt ett studioalbum sedan 2009 års Embryonic, ger ut sin trettonde fullängdare den 1 april.
Album har nio spår och har producerats av Dave Fridmann tillsammans med bandet i New York. Albumet kommer textmässigt vara mer inåtriktat och spegla en mörkare sida än vad vi är vana vid.
Så här säger bandets frontman Wayne Coyne:
”Why would we make this music that is ’The Terror’ – this bleak, disturbing record? I don’t really want to know the answer that I think is coming: that we were hopeless, we were disturbed and, I think, accepting that some things are hopeless. Or letting hope in one area die so that hope can start to live in another? Maybe this is the beginning of the answer.
We want, or wanted, to believe that without love we would disappear, that love, somehow, would save us that, yeah, if we have love, give love and know love, we are truly alive and if there is no love, there would be no life. ’The Terror’ is, we know now, that even without love, life goes on… we just go on… there is no mercy killing.”
