Wayne Coyne describes his band's forthcoming new effort

The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne has talked about his band's forthcoming new album, which they recently began recording.

The album will be the band's first since 2006's 'At War With The Mystics'. A release date and title are yet to be decided on.

"Some of it sounds like John Lennon," Coyne told BBC 6music. "But if he got together with Miles Davis and they went back in time, but there was a supercomputer that they could figure out how to work!

"We've done a couple of songs, but we have a handful of other songs that I know have a good vibe to them."

Sounds like Flaming Lips all over. Looking forward to seeing what direction this album will take! I love the way they seem to reinvent themselves with each album, yet maintain their quirky individual approach. Roll on whenever this may be released!
