Other albums I can wholeheartedly recommend this week include Heartless Bastards' Arrow, Islands' A Sleep & A Forgetting, The Kills' The Last Goodbye EP, Rosie Thomas's With Love, and Tennis's Young and Old.įive Flaming Lips albums are reissued on vinyl tomorrow: Clouds Taste Metallic, Hit to Death in the Future Head, The Soft Bulletin, Transmissions From the Satellite Heart, and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. But there is more room for the instruments to breathe during those dense passages, and if you love this album and want a better-sounding version, it will be worth the 13 investment. Appears on: Waiting’ For A Superman US CD Maxi-Single - Appears on: Race For The Prize Japanese CD Maxi. It is widely circulated among the fan community. We played this giant show in London last summer, a Soft Bulletin show. Don't buy this expecting the Flaming Lips to sound like Steely Dan - it still sounds like the Soft Bulletin. The Soft Bulletin Companion is a famous promo featuring outtakes, alternate mixes, and radio sessions from the era. Shearwater's Animal Joy is already at the top of my 2012 favorite albums list (along with Sharon Van Etten's Tramp, released last week). People know that record more than they know us, frontman Wayne Coyne said.
