{"product_id":"black-lips-apocalypse-love-cd","title":"Apocalypse Love (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Black Lips return with their 10th studio effort ‘Apocalypse Love’, scorched with their trademark menace, it cryogenically mutates all recognised musical bases; it spins yarns about vintage Soviet synths, Benzedrine stupors, coup de’ tats, stolen valor and certified destruction, all set against a black setting sun. Since the turn of the decade the band have transformed from austere country pioneers, into a set of Lynchian surrealists, hellbent on recalibrating the history of rock ‘n’ roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSinger and saxophonist Zumi Rosow muses, “It’s a weird dance record, one that reflects the moment that the world’s in right now…”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Apocalypse Love’ is an album that emanates from a dive bar jukebox in the back of your mind; with a playlist that bends between tub thumping doom-glam, Plastic Ono singalongs, cocktail-shaken space age pop, Morricone reverberations and lo-fi outsider acoustic-punk, with mariachi horns, theremins, drum machines and harmonies filtering through the infectious melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand-out number ‘Among The Dunes’ is an amorphous platform-heeled anthem, a signature sax-fueled stomper filled with trippy swagger. While opener ‘No Rave’ proffers a hypnotic locked groove, with Cole Alexander’s trademark snarl delivered over a sulphurous wall of distorted hedonism, a dystopian anthem for an apocalyptic manifesto. Meanwhile, the twisted exotica of ‘Whips Of Holly’ with its silver screen façade is like the soundtrack to a classic Theda Bara vamp-fest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the band venture into their third decade, ‘Apocalypse Love’ is proof that The Black Lips show no sign of slowing down…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1 No Rave\r A2 Love Has Won\r A3 Stolen Valor\r A4 Lost Angel\r A5 Whips of Holly\r A6 Apocalypse Love\r A7 Operation Angela\r \r B1 Crying on A Plane\r B2 Sharing My Cream\r B3 Among The Dunes\r B4 Tongue Tied\r B5 Antiaris Toxicaria\r B6 The Concubine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Fire Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Black Lips","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027184422993,"sku":"PT2RMT-FIVZ-JK","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/black-lips-apocalypse-love_Rlh5Y.jpg?v=1759474755","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/black-lips-apocalypse-love-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
