The Flaming Lips

In September 2010, The Flaming Lips were deep into their innovative phase, showcasing their flair for the extraordinary both on-stage and in the studio. Just a year prior, they released 'Embryonic,' an album that was particularly notable for its experimental sounds and cohesive themes around the concept of rebirth. During this live recording at The Blue Note in Columbia, MO, the band performed 'The Sparrow Looks Up At The Machine,' which captures the essence of their 2010 work. This song is part of their ongoing exploration of cosmic themes and soundscapes, aptly reflecting their adventurous spirit. Interestingly, the 2010 live performance also highlights the band’s penchant for surreal stagecraft, a trademark that has continually delighted fans and established them as a unique presence in the music world.
