“Do You Notice??”
The Flaming Lips shaped in Oklahoma Metropolis in 1983. Over the past 4 a long time, they’ve put out 16 albums. In 1999, they put out their album The Soft Bulletin, and that introduced them a brand new stage of success. After which, in 2002, they adopted it up with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, which was their greatest album so far. Pitchfork named it one of the top 5 albums of the year, Stereogum called it one of the best albums of the decade, and they won a Grammy. And the most important track from the album was “Do You Notice??” So, for this episode, I talked to Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd about how that track was first imagined. You’ll hear the very first demo Wayne recorded for the track, and the demo he and Steven put collectively later, on their technique to making the ultimate model with producer Dave Fridmann.
