Flaming Lips sound like Lennon and Miles Davis

The Flaming Lipshave discussed their new album.

Wayne Coyne from the band has spoken about the new record’s sound, saying:

“Some of it sounds like John Lennon. But if he got together with Miles Davis and they went back in time, but there was a supercomputer that they could figure out how to work! We’ve done a couple of songs, but we have a handful of other songs that I know have a good vibe to them.”
