The Flaming Lips & Neon Indian are the last two bands that I would have expected to collaborate. That’s exactly what makes their collaborative effort so great. Sometimes taking the unexpected route produces the most exciting music, because artists are able to create music that they wouldn’t have made without the outside influence.
Not too long ago The Flaming Lips & Neon got together in New York and recorded four songs for a EP that they’re calling The Flaming Lips with Neon Indian. “Is David Bowie Dying?” is the first song from the EP, and it’s available to listen to now thanks to our friends at Disco Naïveté.
It sounds exactly like what a collaboration between the two should sound like. One part freak-psych rock, the other part blipped out chill-psych. It’s a dark track that comes off as haunted dream state. I wouldn’t walk around near any cemeteries while listening to this, that’s for sure.
