Is there a band on the planet that cares more for its fans, or does more to satisfy them with a steady stream of amazing albums, videos, one-offs, DVDs, and an encyclopedic website? Of course, it would mean nothing if Wayne Coyne and his friends weren’t also brilliant musicians. This new EP is one of those internecine releases that looks forward and back at the same time; four new songs are complemented by two previously unreleased tunes. We’re not saying they’re the Beatles, but Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots are two discs that your grandchildren will know about. It pays to watch what the Lips’ next move will be.
