We Did Not Know the Forest Spirit Made the Flowers Grow

Black Lips

Blown-out garage punk with haunting 60s pop sensibilities. A scuzzy, tape-saturated collection of anthems for basement shows and backwoods bonfires.

It sounds like a 60s boy band got stuck in a blender with a bunch of punk rockers.

A chaotic, high-energy celebration of lo-fi noise and unexpected pop hooks.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift into the nine-minute psychedelic sprawl of Super X-13 that closes the record.
The way the harmonies on M.I.A. sound like a 60s girl group recorded through a broken walkie-talkie.
The frantic, stumbling drum fill that kicks off Jumpin' Around with pure nervous energy.
