Coachella Festival Spotlight: Black Lips
Black Lips will be performing on April 15 and 22 as part of the 2012 Coachella Festival lineup.
Atlanta-based punk rockers Black Lips have been exposing their audiences to intense guitar hooks and gritty chords since 1999. The band’s first studio album, Black Lips!, is a recalcitrant ode to the swamps of their hometown in Georgia, where its reverb is drenched in an eeriness that is never completely settling or familiar even after many listens.
The most recent release from Black Lips, Arabia Mountain, is much cleaner and crisp than their self-recorded previous works, but it does not take away from the rugged vitality of their signature sound. The quartet sums up the logistics of good rock music in every track: enjoyable beats, a rhythm to dance to, catharsis, and a feeling of escapism.
