Album Description
Available in:
King's Mouth: Music and Songs" is the 15th studio album from The Flaming Lips. It was released on Record Store Day on April 13, 2019 as a limited run of 4,000 gold-coloured records for the event. An official commercial version was released on July 19th 2019. It is their first studio album since 2017's Oczy Mlody.
King's Mouth is a concept album that was conceived as the soundtrack to an art exhibit of the same name by frontman Wayne Coyne, which opened in 2017. The album features Mick Jones of The Clash providing narration on several tracks.
On Metacritic, King's Mouth received a score of 77 out of 100 based on fifteen reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.
User Album Review
King’s Mouth began its otherworldly life in 2015 as an art installation – a giant metallic head inside which spectators were immersed in psychedelic visuals. The Oklahoma band’s 15th album follows, with its story – of a giant, mythic king baby growing up into a galaxy-absorbing hero, who dies while rescuing his people from an avalanche.
The opening track’s cosmic sound effects and Jones’s story-telling, followed by the fragile vocals of Wayne Coyne and synthesised chorals on the tender “Sparrow”, set the tone of this space-pop odyssey. An inventive spin on indie-rock runs throughout: “Giant Baby” combines guitar, falsetto vocals, baby gurgling, robotic synths and a dub beat, while “How Many Times” is the dreamiest counting song you’ll ever hear. “Feedaloodum Beedle Dot” is a satisfying concoction of slinky bass, breakbeat grooves and arcade sounds.
For all the album’s eccentricities, the vibe is earnest fairytale rather than tongue-in-cheek – save for the sound of a strangled feline mirroring the lyrics “when you stepped on your cat” on “How Many Times”. Epic highlight “Electric Fire” and celestial album-closer “How Can a Head” capture Coyne at his most wistful. The latter is a wide-eyed, strings-laden gem, its childlike, questing lyrics poignant whatever your age.
Just as the preceding art installation invited viewers to enter its vast head of LED lights and wonder, this album does the same.
