Black Lips
‘Boys In The Wood’
Free Download
It may have been three years in the making but Black Lips have come back strong yet again with a new album titled ‘Underneath the Rainbow’ and a must-have for March this year. Their opening gambit ‘Boys In The Wood‘ creeps along like a bar room brawl that is about to kick off, a sing-a-long that leans on The Animals for inspiration bringing a 60’s drool straight into 2014 in a haze of bong smoke.
The video made for this track was made by the ATL Boys and comes with a heavy NSFW tag due to its voilent Deliverance. It’s worth getting fired for so play it anyway.
Despite struggling to decide whether I love or hate the bands’ name, there’s no doubting at all how I feel about ‘Set Me Back’ from Canada’s Weed. A stomping, sludgy yet strangely uplifting noise-pop track, ‘Set Me Back’ is in equal parts hazy and energetic; it’s three minutes managing to sound both restrained and powerful. Huge, fuzzing walls of guitars open the track, before the vocals alternate between an almost chanting monotone and a rasping wail – sounding somewhere between the slack trudge of Pavement and the epic shoegaze of My Bloody Valentine. Though cleaner, the production on ‘Set Me Back’, manages not to lose some of the abrasive edges showcased on their previously released ‘Gun Control’ EP.
