Will You Return / When You Come Down - The Flaming Lips is track #1 in American Head album. Will You Return / When You Come Down - The Flaming Lips Information Kaiserin Josephine (Empress Josephine): Schone Marquise Pictured: Cover Artwork for “American Head” (Released on September 11th, 2020) (via Bella Union)īack in early July, we took a look at “My Religion Is You” from the band.Eva: Eva (Das Fabriksmadel) (The Factory Girl), Act I: War' es auch nichts als ein Augenblick.One of the top essential tunes right now! Overall, I love the track! It sounds alternative enough to feel exciting, but it’s just nice and simple.
At it’s best, the track seems to evoke the 60’s lo-fi acoustic sound of The Beatles, accompanied by the gauzy, starry-eyed narrative inflictions of David Bowie, and the light dream visuals call back to the 80’s Shoegaze scope of My Bloody Valentine. Coyne’s vocal performance is undoubtedly bittersweet, and the elements of Country-Rock are peppered with subtle, twinkling keyboard riffs which add to the Neil Young-esque Piano instrumentation and the lightly psychedelic guitar tones, accompanied by a heavier delivery of reverb for the chorus. The vocals are warm and comforting, although the lyrics allude to a meteorite crashing down on Earth (“Shooting Star/Crashing in your car/What went wrong/Now all your friends are gone”) and a princess waking up from a long slumber (“Flower gun/Now you’re on the run”) while the chorus feels emotionally-driven and powerfully fragile, as Coyne questions the track’s titular line repeatedly over the top of a gentle swell of Operatic, mournful Cello strings and harmonious Xylophone notes. “Will You Return/When You Come Down” doesn’t really include any harsh experimentation or an abrasive style of production, but it’s more reminiscent of a simple idea and, sometimes, that is all you really need. The new album “American Head”, marks a key shift in identity for the band, who had decided to revert back to their roots in Americana and Desert Rock to explore their geographical roots on the record, and it marks the first time in which the highly established group have really thought of themselves an “American” band, as opposed to one that just comes from “Earth”, according to Wayne Coyne’s press release for the new album. Let’s have a listen to the group’s latest single, down below! In their lifetime so far, the seven-piece music/art collective have been placed on Q Magazine’s list of the “50 Bands To See Before You Die” in 2002, along with winning three Grammy Awards, they also won NME’s award for Best Album Of The Year for “The Soft Bulletin” in 1999, and they also received a BRIT Award nomination for “Best International Act” in 2007. It has left a mark with it’s great score of 81/100 on review aggregate site Metacritic, and it has been generally being praised by critics as their strongest album release in a while. However, it turns out that The Flaming Lips have been very busy over the last few weeks, with the release of their sixteenth (!) studio album record “American Head”, which was released via Bella Union in the UK and Warner Bros. Criminal for a Music Journalism student? Perhaps. have been around for a handful of decades now, but I’ve actually never got around to listening to any of their albums in full, personally.
Good Morning to you! I am Jacob Braybrooke and, just like always, I’m here to write up about your daily track on the blog, because it’s always my day-to-day pleasure to write about a different piece of music every day! Music today comes from an Alternative Rock group who performed a gig earlier in Oklahoma City this week, which was fully socially-distanced, by the way of the band encasing themselves in literally… a “Bubble”.

It’s time for a new post!
