We've talked about the Black Lips' escape, and the story of The Almighty Defenders ad nauseum, just as everyone else has, so we'll digress, and spare you. However, on the coattails of last month's "Bow Down and Die" is the new, "Cone of Light." Similarly to the former, it's folksy noise that invokes a sense of campfire fun with your friends (if you're not aware, I'm a big fan of alliteration). This one takes on some group vocals as well to really create the mood of being out in the wilderness/on the run in Germany with your boys. Check it out below, courtesy of Pitchfork, if you're in the mood. The Almighty Defenders' self-titled debut is out September 22nd via Vice. I'm sure the Black Lips, King Khan and Mark Sultan thank you for listening.
"Cone of Light"- The Almighty Defenders
Everybody's favorite escape artists, the Black Lips, have new material coming out, this time as The Almighty Defenders. You may remember the band fleeing India in January, and then ending up in Berlin? Well, this is the result of said experience. The guys teamed up with King Khan and Mark Sultan for a folksy, gang-vocal hoedown that sounds like it was recorded in the basement of an old farmhouse (probably was). I personally think it would have been more fun to chronicle the trip, complete with literal running dialog, but hey, you can't have everything. What we've got instead is something that definitely alludes to their frightening experience, while still reserving commentary enough to make it a worthwhile and gimmick-less venture. The first offering is called "Bow Down and Die," and is available below, courtesy of Stereogum. The rest of the self-titled record will see a formal release on September 22nd via Vice.
The Almighty Defenders- "Bow Down and Die"
Busy day already, as far as music goes. The Black Lips have a new video out for the song "Short Fuse", and due to its interesting, seemingly punk-inspired animation, I figured it'd be worth mentioning in this space. The video gives me a bit of a YoutTube or Adult Swim vibe. Very do-it-yourself. It also has sticks of dynamite with faces, and matches for legs, which is cool in its own way. Check out the video below. The Black Lips' new record, 200 Million Thousand, is out tomorrow, February 24th, via Die Slaughterhaus/Vice Music.
