Monthly Mix: January 2017

The Flaming Lips deliver Oczy Mlody

     The year in music is off to a hot start as a bunch of surprise tracks have already dropped. January brought with it a pile of snow, but it also brought a pile of new tunes.
     Oklahoma psych-rockers The Flaming Lips are back making waves with their brand new album Oczy Mlody. Frontman Wayne Coyne conjures up visions of unicorns, wizards, and frogs, as he keeps the musical tone mellow and relaxed. On the record's final cut "We A Family" the band relies on friend Miley Cyrus for additional vocal duties. Catch them on tour as they swing through the U.S., Canada, with a big slot at Vida Festival in Spain.
     As the cold of the winter continues to press on, it's nice to know the iPods are heated up with new tracks. The January Playlist makes a good companion for snowboarding down the slopes.
