  In October 2020, when The Flaming Lips performed at the Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, they were promoting their latest album, "American Head," which was released on September 11, 2020. This album marked a significant point in their career, reflecting a more introspective sound, heavily inspired by the band’s experiences and memories, particularly the themes of life, loss, and nostalgia. The performance featured the band in a unique, intimate setting, characteristic of the Tiny Desk series, providing a stripped-down approach that contrasted with their often elaborate stage shows. Notably, the recording came during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period that influenced many artists to adapt their performances to virtual formats, showcasing their resilience and creativity. The Lips are known for their surreal style and have a history of pushing boundaries, which was evident during this home concert.
