The Soft Bulletin [CD]

Oklahoma City's The Flaming Lips formed in the post-punk '80s, playing alongside Black Flag, Husker Du and Jesus & Mary Chain. Following 4 acclaimed indie albums, the band signed to Warner Bros. And, in 1991, brought forth Hit to Death in the Future Head. The Soft Bulletin is the most accessible album that these stalwarts of psychedelic noise-pop have ever released. Rhythmic and piano laden, exploding with intelligence and sonic texture, the Lips' 9th album continues their adventure into otherworldly pop.
