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.”
To celebrate the release of new single ‘Left Behind‘, those oh-so-friendly fun folk, CSS have uploaded the video which was filmed in between sets at Glastonbury, Gatecrasher and RISE Festival.
