Available with Vinyl records London. Black Vinyl Vinyl Records Black Vinyl Black Lips Ltd Indies Only Deluxe edition Violet Vinyl, Silver foiled sleeve, Lyric insert DL card.

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, “It’s a weird dance record, one that reflects the moment that the world’s in right now…”Apocalypse 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, cocktailshaken space age pop, Morricone reverberations and lofi outsider acousticpunk, with mariachi horns, theremins, drum machines and harmonies filtering through the infectious melodies.Standout number ‘Among The Dunes’ is an amorphous platformheeled anthem, a signature saxfuelled stomper filled with trippy swagger.

Meanwhile, the twisted exotica of ‘Whips Of Holly’ with its silver screen facade is like the soundtrack to a classic Theda Bara v&fest.As the band venture into their third decade, Apocalypse Love is proof that The Black Lips show no sign of slowing down…
