I thought "Kveikur" was a jumping off point to explore a whole new sound. But it wound up sort of being their last album. There's so much more they could do with that sound.

Jonsi has been keeping busy doing collaborative work. Obsidian was his last bit of solo work.

It's kind of a Flaming Lips situation, right? We fans kind of want them to keep making albums like Yoshimi, but if they actually didn't try to move in a new direction, we'd get bored of them.

I find all the new Flaming Lips albums boring haha. I would prefer more exploration of the Yoshimi/Soft bulletin sound. But you'r right, truly creative people want to make new things, not just continue making something that is successful.

forget that Yoshimi/Soft B era of FLips. the world needs more "Hear It Is..."

I *think* this is the interview where Jonsi announces out of the blue he's breaking up w/his boyfriend and co-founder because the sex isn't hot anymore: https://youtu.be/V-TaRDqKkZo

Maybe that has something to do with more solo work; less Sigur Ros?
