BLACK LIPS – Arabia Mountain (2023 Reissue) – LP – Yellow Vinyl

LP – Indie Exclusive Limited EditionYellow Vinylwith DL card.

Sixth full-length album from the gurus of Atlantas flower punk movement, from the heady daze of 2011 finally back on vinyl and part of a series of Fire re-issues celebrating 20 years of the legendary garage rock gurus from Atlanta, Georgia.

Arabia Mountain was recorded between Brooklyn and Atlanta in 2010, and with the collaborative assistance of celebrated producer Mark Ronson, Lockett Pundt of Deerhunter, and a human skull with a microphone jammed into it. I was already a fan of the Black Lips coming into it and I definitely didnt want to f**k up anything, Ronson told Rolling Stoneand f**k up he did not. The production tests the limits of modern amplification, harkening to the full, meaty sound of The Stooges Fun House or Lola Versus Powerman by the Kinks. Unapologetic southern-fried twang, crunching through the gears with flowers blossoming everywhere.

Black Lips have crafted a very solid album. Pitchfork

Hook after hook of infectious punk rock a fantastic rock record. Paste
