By Aaron Hartley–
Psychedelic indie outfit The Flaming Lips have been around a long time – long enough to not really care whether their music meets a standard or not.
They have always had a penchant for the absurd, and it’s reflected in their work, such as in 1997’s esoteric experiment “Zaireeka,” which required four CDs to be played simultaneously, or 2015’s extremely ill-advised collaboration with Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz. Nonetheless, records such as 1999’s “The Soft Bulletin” and 2002’s “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” are held to high regard in the indie canon.
