New Flaming Lips' Album Set for Fall

Uh oh. It’s a double. Much like the drink, a double album can sometimes be a bit much, but Wayne Coyne and co. have taken on the challenge- and it has turned out to be just that. Coyne tells BBC’s 6 Music blog that putting the set list together has been tricky, “Because we want to go in so many strange directions and sometimes we’re unfocused and sometimes we’re just so wishy-washy. I think it must be like being a cook in the kitchen. You’re preparing this great thing, but by the time it’s ready you’re sick of it because you’ve been smelling it, you’ve got it in your hair and in your fingers and all that.” For fans hungry for the new material, the album, titled Embryonic, is due in September.
