Singer and saxophonist Zumi Rosow muses, “It’s a weird dance record, one that reflects the moment that the world’s in right now…” ‘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. Stand-out number ‘Among The Dunes’ is an amorphous platform-heeled anthem, a signature sax-fuelled 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. As the band venture into their third decade, ‘Apocalypse Love’ is proof that The Black Lips show no sign of slowing down… \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A wonderful new chapter… The world may be on fire, but at least we have Black Lips.” The Line Of Best Fit \/\/ “Simply masters in their field” NME \/\/ \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49974549709042,"sku":"FIRELP666","price":6.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-141017.png?v=1787628085","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/apocalypse-love-black-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
