The Flaming Lips are an American psychedelic rock band formed in 1983 in Oklahoma City, OK, USA. The band currently consists of Wayne Coyne (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Steven Drozd (guitars, keyboards, bass, vocals), Derek Brown (keyboards, guitars, percussion), Matt Duckworth Kirksey (drums, percussion, keyboards) and Nicholas Ley (percussion, drums).

With a career spanning over three decades and numerous critically acclaimed albums under their belt, The Flaming Lips have become one of the most influential and innovative bands in the alternative music scene. Known for their experimental soundscapes and eccentric stage performances that often include elaborate costumes and props.

Their unique blend of psychedelic rock with elements of pop and electronic music has garnered them a dedicated fan base worldwide. From their early releases like "The Soft Bulletin" to more recent albums such as "Oczy Mlody," The Flaming Lips continue to push boundaries and defy expectations with their boundary-pushing music.

The Flaming Lips' Hear It Is. Available here on LP.

Hear It Is (1986) was The Flaming Lips’ first full-length album, and the first with Wayne Coyne on lead vocals, taking over from his brother Mark after leaving the band. Following in the grand tradition of other great Southwestern psych bands such 13th Floor Elevators and The Red Krayola, The Flaming Lips first act mixed punk, country and western, psychedelia, goth, and pure bar-band rock and roll into their own curious creation on classics such Jesus Shootin' Heroin, Trains, Brains, and Rain, and Charlie Manson Blues. Sharing the weird, slanted pop sensibility of contemporaries like Meat Puppets and Butthole Surfers, this early masterpiece continues to influence bands to this day. Indeed, the punk rockers were finally taking acid.
