Details

The Black Lips return with their 10th studio effort Apocalypse Love, scorched with their trademark menace, it cryogenically mutates all recognised musical bases; it spins yarns about vintage Soviet synths, Benzedrine stupors, coup de tats, stolen valor and certified destruction, all set against a black setting sun. Since the turn of the decade the band have transformed from austere country pioneers, into a set of Lynchian surrealists, hellbent on recalibrating the history of rock n roll.Singer and saxophonist Zumi Rosow muses, Its a weird dance record, one that reflects the moment that the worlds in right nowApocalypse Love is an album that emanates from a dive bar jukebox in the back of your mind; with a playlist that bends between tub thumping doom-glam, Plastic Ono singalongs, cocktail-shaken space age pop, Morricone reverberations and lo-fi outsider acoustic-punk, with mariachi horns, theremins, drum machines and harmonies filtering through the infectious melodies.Stand-out number Among The Dunes is an amorphous platform-heeled anthem, a signature sax-fueled stomper filled with trippy swagger. While opener No Rave proffers a hypnotic locked groove, with Cole Alexanders trademark snarl delivered over a sulphurous wall of distorted hedonism, a dystopian anthem for an apocalyptic manifesto. Meanwhile, the twisted exotica of Whips Of Holly with its silver screen faade is like the soundtrack to a classic Theda Bara vamp-fest.As the band venture into their third decade, Apocalypse Love is proof that The Black Lips show no sign of slowing downA1 No Rave A2 Love Has Won A3 Stolen Valor A4 Lost Angel A5 Whips of Holly A6 Apocalypse Love A7 Operation Angela B1 Crying on A Plane B2 Sharing My Cream B3 Among The Dunes B4 Tongue Tied B5 Antiaris Toxicaria B6 The Concubine
