Flaming Lips announce new album The Terror, possible King Crimson cover album
August 20th, 2012 by Matt

There’s a big big big interview with Wayne Coyne over at MXDWN today. Wayne details their finished new album The Terror and the possibility of a King Crimson covers album. From the interview:
The name is that we’re using so far is a little bit misleading. It’s called The Terror. There’s a specific mindset that we’re talking about when we talk about The Terror. When you hear the record it plays into this understated, but very intense thing that we’re calling The Terror. Exploring the terror of curiosity, the terror of living, the terror of love. All of these things that are a in certain state of mind, you have to embrace them, knowing that there is also the more intense the joy is, the more intense the pain is and you stand at the threshold and say, “Well do we go in the joy and also go in the pain? Or do we stand on the outside of it and not try?” That’s what we’re calling The Terror. What do we do now that we have this?

Yeah, I read that article the other day. I think it’s one of the weirdest, most hateful pieces of writing I’ve ever seen done about a band. There’s a tactful way to report on this news, but that isn’t it.

It is incredibly hateful. Wayne is beloved by most Oklahomans. Some of the writers on this site seem to have a problem with him for whatever reason. It’s a real shame they had to be so disrespectful and mean spirited about it. The Flaming Lips are one of the few positive things about the state and are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
