Awards & Recognition 1
Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz was a free, self-released experimental album made largely with The Flaming Lips, and Cyrus co-wrote all twenty-three of its tracks. Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, and producer Dave Fridmann shaped its sprawling psychedelic sound, with Mike Will Made It and Oren Yoel also contributing. The record was the most uncommercial and personal of her career, released without singles or a label campaign.
Released as a free surprise album following the 2015 MTV VMAs, this sprawling 23-track psychedelic record was co-created almost entirely with The Flaming Lips, Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, and Dennis Coyne, alongside producer Dave Fridmann. Cyrus co-wrote every track and received co-production credits throughout, making it her most complete claim to authorship to date. A smaller cluster of tracks features Mike Will Made It in a production role, while Cyrus self-produced several solo pieces near the album's end. The album's free release and deliberately uncommercial tone stood in sharp contrast to Bangerz, signaling a full departure from mainstream pop.
