The group is composed of The Flaming Lips' Steven Drozd and Wayne Coyne, and Deap Vally’s Julie Edwards and Lindsey. Deap Lips have completely transformed the song, presenting it as an eerie electronic experiment with a trippy video to match. Deap Lips is a band formed between rock groups The Flaming Lips and Deap Vally. Steppenwolf’s blues-rocking 1969 version of “The Pusher” appeared alongside “Born To Be Wild” on the Easy Rider soundtrack. “You know, I’ve seen a lot of motherfuckers walkin’ ’round With tombstones in their eyes/ But the pusher don’t care if you live or you die.” “You know I’ve smoked a lot of weed/ I’ve popped a lot of pills/ But I’ve never touched nothin’/ That my spirit could kill,” the song begins. Der Fusion der Flaming Lips Wayne Coyne und Steven Drozd mit Deap Vally, namentlich Schlagzeugerin Julie Edwards und Gitarristin Lindsey Troy, kommerzielle Absichten zu unterstellen, wäre ohnehin ausgemachter Unsinn. Hoyt Axton, the singer-songwriter behind Three Dog Night’s “ Joy To The World” and the Kingston Trio’s “Greenback Dollar” among other hits, also wrote “The Pusher,” a track about the dangers of crossing over from recreational drug use to something harder.

Luckily, with the new Deap Lips album you’ll be able to replenish the supply of F-bombs you’ve “got left to give.”įollow writer David Gill at /songotaku and Instagram/songotaku.Both the Flaming Lips and Deap Vally were born to be wild, so perhaps it’s not surprising they’ve decided to cover Steppenwolf on their collaborative album as Deap Lips. With the next presidential election still seven months away, there will be plenty of opportunities for colorful language. The resulting album somehow manages to sound both brash and mannered. The album tempers Deap Vally’s foul-mouthed passion with The Flaming Lips’ experience and sonic sorcery. The juxtaposition is on full display for “Love is a Mind Control,” a song The Flaming Lips originally worked up for singer-songwriter Kesha. The album’s music splits its personality between strummed acoustic guitars and psychedelic synthesizers, usually at the same time. Gone for the most part are Deap Vally’s lo-fi Sabbath-like power chords, supplanted by The Flaming Lips’ sci-fi hippy vibe from their Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots era. Ironically, the anti-drug anthem sounds pretty doped-up, and Troy can’t resist adding an Oedipal element to the line, “Lord, he’ll leave your motherfucking mind to scream.” Originally envisioned for a Flaming Lips collaboration with Miley Cyrus that never happened, the album’s cover of Steppenwolf’s “The Pusher” synthesizes the original’s overdriven grit, transforming it into an airy, bleepy, and Auto-Tuned sci-fi soundscape.

On the album’s first single, “Hope, Hell, High,” Troy lends her distinctive voice, which sounds more than a little like “Ex’s and Oh’s” singer Elle King, to a silky acoustic ballad that grows forceful during the hard-hitting chorus with Edwards singing, “It’s a motherfucker, it’s a motherfucker, blam, blam, blam, blam blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam!”

Mission accomplished: The song includes the lyrics: “Riding along through the deep valley where the dragons of madness roam” along with, “Now I think I tried too hard to shut the mouth of doom.taking all my wisdom from the flaming lips of youth.” This special collaboration came together after a. So Flaming Lips members Wayne Coyne and Drozd set to work, dusting off some unused songs from other projects and composing new ones, including the album’s opener, the overdriven and syncopated “Home Through Hell.” The artists were committed to shoehorning both bands’ names into the lyrics. Vinyl, LP, AlbumDeap Lips is Wayne & Steven from The Flaming Lips with Julie & Lindsey from Deap Vally. That album has been officially announced today.

But Troy and Edwards arrived in Oklahoma City without any material prepared. Most of this year, Wayne Coyne has been teasing a collaborative record between the Flaming Lips and the LA garage-rock duo Deap Vally.
