Stream new Black Lips - Arabia Mountain (out June 7)

The Black Lips carry on the ramshackley/grungy American brand of garage rock that keeps audiences in fits and tussles, and the bar owners selling 12ouncers. That's the way I like it.

The band's forthcoming album, 'Arabia Mountain' produced by celeb-producer Mick Ronson, comes out on June 7 via Vice Records. Read my Black Lips live review from 2009.

The CD kicks off with two rip-roaring stompers: a blastin' country twanger called "Family Tree", followed by the driving "Modern Art" no relation to any Art Brut song. I like it already, doesn't sound like any dance beats have been grafted onto the band's palette....:-)
