Telepathic Surgery

The Flaming Lips

Abrasive noise rock and sprawling psychedelic jams recorded before the band found their technicolor pop wings. Raw, gritty, and intentionally difficult.

It's the Lips before they got happy, back when they just wanted to blow your speakers with 20-minute noise jams.

A restless and abrasive descent into psychedelic chaos and lo-fi noise.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, twenty-three minute descent into psychedelic noise and repetitive riffing on Hell's Angels Cracker Factory.
The aggressive, mocking energy of the guitar solo in Hari-Krishna Stomp Wagon.
The sudden, jarring transition from melodic fragments into pure wall-of-sound distortion.
