The Flaming Lips - Embryonic (Music CD)

The Oklahoman oddballs The Flaming Lips return with a mammoth collection of compositions, a double album entitled 'Embryonic'. Their twelfth full-length record, it takes in some typically off-the-wall influences, including Miles Davis and John Lennon. The group's psychedelic background may have informed their decision to draft in MGMT for a contribution to one track, and even Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs makes an appearance on vocal duties. Recorded in guitarist/keyboardist Stephen Drozd's house, it is the first time the Lips have attempted a double album.
