Black Lips will return on March 18th next year with their latest studio album ‘Underneath The Rainbow‘.
The 12-track LP features production work courtesy of The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney as well as Ed Rawls, and was mixed by Jimmy Douglass. It is the band’s first since 2011’s ‘Arabia Mountain’, of which Live4ever’s review reads:
“For the Ramones-aping ‘Raw Meat‘, Ronson went the distance by bringing in a singing saw player, as well as recording the group using actual raw meat as added percussion, not to mention the fact that he survived a near-death hospitalization due to the band’s idea for everyone to eat liver sashimi as inspiration for the song….”
“…Only a close-knit crew like the Black Lips could pull this sort of thing off. Whether they could have pulled it off without the extra ears and ideas of Ronson (and to a lesser extent Pundt) is highly doubtful. What isn’t doubtful, however, is that this record should solidify that these four stunt-pulling trash-talkers are serious musicians, and not just serious assholes.”
