Yesterday, we learned that the Flaming Lips have a new album called The Terror coming in a few months. The album’s first single is actually a non-album bonus cut called “Sun Blows Up Today,” a euphoric burst of white-noise keyboard explosions and feedback. This song will also soundtrack a Super Bowl commercial this year, which makes sense, since historically gigantic TV audiences love avant-psych freakouts. The band just debuted the song with a lyric video that looks like a laptop exploding inside your brain. Watch it below.

The Terror is out 4/1 on Bella Union/Warner Bros.

This is kinda what I hoped Centipede Hz would sound like…!
I dig it. Can’t wait for THE TERROR
The video is private now. Why, Lips? Why?
Why is this video private?! I NEED IT NOW
It’s like the iTunes visualizer on crack.
I think you mean LSD.
I like the song but the video makes me dizzy
That whole “bleak and disturbing” thing has got to be an April fools joke.
Good job Lips!
