LP - The Black Lips - Season Of The Peach

1 CD - UK Import - indie cream vinyl

Black Lips return with a brand-new studio album, "Season Of The Peach", a 40-minute rock and roll odyssey, tripping through DIY genres where garage rock meets new wave pop, and disgruntled country shakes hands with epic western soundtracks.

The 14-track album captures the energy and spirit of early Black Lips while simultaneously applying new approaches to songwriting. The album is a musical merry-go-round, a journey featuring road-weary tales from the underbelly of a lights-out America. It's bookended by "The Illusion" parts one and two: a barroom quest for hope, fear, and hate, thwarted at each turn by a sense of resignation.

For the recording sessions they holed up in the bucolic surroundings of drummer Oakley Munson's new Sound At Manor studio in the Catskills. In this idyllic setting, the band disconnected from city life and committed their music to analogue tape, part of their quest to embrace spontaneity and capture the energy of a live Black Lips show on record.
