Sixth fulllength album from the gurursquos of Atlantarsquos ldquoflower punkrdquo movement, from the heady daze of 2011 ndash finally back on vinyl and part of a series of Fire reissues celebrating 20 years of the legendary garage rock gurus from Atlanta, Georgia. Arabia Mountain was recorded between Brooklyn and Atlanta in 2010, and with the collaborative assistance of celebrated producer Mark Ronson, Lockett Pundt of Deerhunter, and a human skull with a microphone jammed into it. ldquoI was already a fan of the Black Lips coming into it and I definitely didnrsquot want to fk up anything,rdquo Ronson told Rolling Stonehellipand fk up he did not. The production tests the limits of modern amplification, harkening to the full, meaty sound of The Stoogesrsquo Fun House or Lola Versus Powerman by the Kinks. Unapologetic southernfried twang, crunching through the gears with flowers blossoming everywhere. ldquoBlack Lips have crafted a very solid album.rdquo Pitchfork ldquoHook after hook of infectious punk rockhellip a fantastic rock record.rdquo
