The flaming lips concert1/27/2024 Maybe it is, or was, the type of mood or mindset I had been searching for but only knew it subconsciously. My attempts to actually turn it into a song never worked and it remained this moody piece of wordless music and sound that compelled me. Something sooothing and soft and science sleep experiment sounding about it. It (the Oczy Mlody recording) has a kind of mellow suspen-sion about it. I would keep returning to this simple, really nothing, of a track. It was just an off the cuff little moment but it kept haunting me (in a good way). The descending bass and slow drum machine stuff from one night and the magical crystalline melody synth line that was recorded the next night. The opening track called Oczy Mlody (watch a video: Wayne’s Explanation of Oczy Mlody) was haphazardly conceived one night from two recording session. We began, what now has become, Oczy Mlody as far back as January 2015. Darkness in the dark while we listen with demon eyes on our way back home to our family. There are frogs and wizards and spiders and painful emotional therapy sessions where every primal desire is allowed and encouraged. And it all takes place inside a gated community that has been made into a replicant fantasy fairy tale city where the mega-mega rich folks live and have self indulgent psycho parties (maybe I’ve been spending too much time around Miley Cyrus) where everyone takes Oczy Mlody (the drug uses your own sub-conscious memories and transports you to your perfect childhood happy mind) and everyone has sex while riding unicorns. Ping!! You sleep yourself out of withdrawals and cravings and wake up sober. Ping!! You are put to sleep for 3 months and you wake up thin. A future where Oczy Mlody is the current cool powerful party drug of choice and sleeping is the ultimate cure for everything. (not sure which one is Dorothy and which one is the scarecrow in this scenario.) But somehow they have gone through a hole in the night sky and arrived in a fucked up, day glow, fairy tale world in the future. I think, perhaps, it is only within The Flaming Lips world that these 2 (Syd and A$AP) could accidentally find themselves, like Dorothy stumbling upon the scarecrow as she wondered down the yellow brick road towards Oz. and if you know and like A$AP Rocky you probablydon’t care or wouldn’t like Syd Barrett. (original founder of classic rock/space opera group Pink Floyd) you probably DON’T know who A$AP Rocky is (current badass psychedelic rapper). Knowing fulwell that if you know who Syd Barrett is. When asked (about our newest album Oczy Mlody) what does your new stuff sound like.? My current responsehas been that it sounds like Syd Barrett meets A$AP Rocky and they get trapped in a fairy tale from the future.
