NASHVILLE—Hammock’s new single, “The Last Time We Hear The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne & Steven Drozd Together,” may indeed be the last time we hear the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne & Steven Drozd together. The Nashville post-rock duo Hammock released the track today. It features the iconic duo on a song about, well, being together. Fans rejoiced. Many wept. All wore silver spandex.
An Unexpected Detour
Sources close to the band confirmed the collaboration was a happy accident. Coyne and Drozd reportedly wandered into the wrong studio. They thought it was for a Cheeto-flavored energy drink tasting. Instead, they found Hammock. “We were just looking for some experimental snacks,” stated Wayne Coyne, Supreme Overlord of Psychedelic Sound. “Next thing you know, we’re making sonic textures that sound suspiciously like actual music.” Steven Drozd, Chief Architect of Wobbly Synth Melodies, added, “It felt… quiet. Too quiet. But then the room started humming. I think it was the sound of pure existential dread. Or maybe just a faulty air conditioner.”
The track itself is a sprawling, 17-minute ambient piece. It features the gentle strumming of guitars. It also includes shimmering synths. Coyne and Drozd contribute ethereal vocalizations. They sound like ghosts arguing over a parking space. This marks a significant departure from their usual sound. Their usual sound involves confetti cannons and a man in a giant hamster ball. The collaboration on Hammock’s new single is truly a moment. It is a moment for the ages. Or perhaps just a moment.
The Future Is Unclear
Hammock, comprised of Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson, expressed surprise at the outcome. “We just invited them over for tea,” said Byrd, Head Custodian of Melancholy Moods. “We offered them biscuits. They offered us… existential angst. It was a fair trade.” Thompson, Chief Alchemist of Sonic Serenity, noted, “We are unsure if they understood they were on a song called ‘The Last Time We Hear The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne & Steven Drozd Together.’ They seemed quite pleased with the complimentary kombucha.” The future of Flaming Lips collaborations remains uncertain. Especially collaborations that accidentally happen. Hammock’s new single is available everywhere. Get it before it dissolves into the ether.
At press time, Coyne was reportedly seen trying to start a band with the ambient noise emanating from a broken vending machine.
