Ahead of its release on April 1st, The Flaming Lips have posted a live version of their new album ‘The Terror‘ in its entirety after it was performed at the recent South By Southwest festival in Texas.
The performance took place on March 15th, and has been uploaded to Soundcloud where it can be streamed below. ‘The Terror’ was recorded at New York’s Tarbox Studios, and has been produced by both the band and Dave Fridmann. Frontman Wayne Coyne recently described the LP thus:
“Why would we make this music that is ‘The Terror’ – this bleak, disturbing record? I don’t really want to know the answer that I think is coming: that we were hopeless, we were disturbed and, I think, accepting that some things are hopeless. Or letting hope in one area die so that hope can start to live in another? Maybe this is the beginning of the answer.”
