New Music – Flaming Lips – Silver Trembling Hands

Embryonic

Possibly one of the most easily accessible song on new Flaming Lips album where they have otherwise have taken a (re)turn to the more experimental side of their sound. The track opens with a driving drum beat with a fuzzy bass line to accoompany it and super high pitch backing vocals, courtesy of Steven Drozd. Wayne Coyne sings about a girl who, “keeps feeling for the blindfold/she keeps wishing for the secret society”. The driving beat continues until all the mounting tension is released with a dream like chorus of “She forgets about the fear/When she’s high/When she’s high”.

It all sounds very reminiscent of Pink Floyd…who’s album Dark Side of the Moon is being covered by…you guessed it.
