#283 - The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips (1999)
Unraveling the Magic of The Flaming Lips
Float into the kaleidoscopic world of The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips. In this episode of Album Archives, we dive into the band’s 1999 masterpiece—a lush, emotional, and sonically adventurous record that marked a bold evolution in their sound. From the euphoric rush of “Race for the Prize” to the fragile beauty of “Waiting for a Superman,” this album blends orchestral grandeur with raw human introspection. Join host Steve Epley as we explore its creation, themes of love and mortality, and lasting impact on modern indie rock.
