Starlight Mints

If you thought the Flaming Lips were the only ones drinking from tainted Oklahoma water, you probably haven’t heard Starlight Mints. The whimsical pop band from Norman is capable of making the Lips look like ordinary dudes with their puppets, Rorschach-like projections, and surrealistic wordplay (Put jelly on my toes so the mice don’t bite/Floating down this river in a cello). The group has been a model of psych-pop consistency over the course of the last decade, so expect more thumping beats and stabby string arrangements on their upcoming album, Change Remains.
