She Smells Like Cigarettes

East River Pipe-Crystal QueenThere's a real early Flaming Lips feel to this song, from the hazy, lo-fi vocals to the buzzing guitars and tripped out lyrics, like if this was a movie, everything would be in three bright colors, and the images would flash by so quickly that it would leave you dizzy, except that dizzy in a fuzzy, slightly frantic, confused way. The tangle of the seemingly unamped guitars and keyboards, and the general intimate in a flashy way and off beat lyrics really brushes the song together for this short, crystalized package of spacey effects and pretty melodies, and the crystal queen that is the creation of
East River Pipe.
