Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell

The Flaming Lips

A shimmering, downtempo companion to Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Drifting synthesizers and acoustic warmth for quiet, existential winter evenings.

November 3, 2003 · Warner Bros. Records

A gentle, cosmic sigh that finds beauty in the inevitable fading of the light.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the distorted solar flares of noise resolve into a gentle acoustic melody on track 1.
The rhythmic, mechanical pulse that mimics a heartbeat underneath the airy vocals of the title track remixes.
The sudden, crystalline clarity of the bells during the climax of the final Christmas track.
