American psychedelic rock band The Flaming Lips earned comparisons by critics to Brian Wilson's work when discussing their albums Zaireeka (1997) and The Soft Bulletin (1999), which were the results of extensive studio experimentation. When asked what instrument he played, frontman Wayne Coyne simply stated "the recording studio".
