Description
CD is a gatefold wallet sleeve.nbspItrsquos country music but not as we know it which begs the question Have these Bad Kids of 21st Century rock rsquonrsquo roll finally grown up on their ninth studio album Are they at peace with themselves Have they made a record their parents could listen toThe Black Lipsnbspnew albumnbsplsquoSing In A World Thatrsquos Falling Apartrsquonbspcontinues to flick the middle finger to one and all. This ainrsquot another gaggle of bearded southern sons fleeing their collective suburban upbringings and collegiate music education. There arenrsquot the usual clicheacutes about drinking, honkytonks, and heartbreak.These are, after all, the samenbspBlack Lipsnbspwho rescued the waning garage punk subgenre by not sounding or dressing their musical predecessors. They also dug contemporary hiphop and punk and actualized themselves Like so many dramatic moments in thenbspBlack Lipsnbspcareer,nbsplsquoSing In A World Thatrsquos Falling Apartrsquonbspwas born out of crisis.The bandrsquos stylistic evolution through decades of prolific touring and recording took them where no garage punk band had gone before huge venues, network television shows, and major music festivals. HerenbspBlack Lipsnbspare at their grimiest, most dangerous and equipped with the best collection of songs since the aughts. Skidding onto the asphalt in a shower of sparks, they roll on with an unapologetic southernfried twang, pacing the beast, every now and then dropping a psycho howl into the rubber room madness lurking underneath the truckstop fireworks. This ainrsquot your grannyrsquos country album. And conversely this ainrsquot your mamarsquosnbspBlack Lips.nbsp
