The Black Lips have returned with a new song called “Odelia”. It marks the first taste of the Atlanta garage rocker’s forthcoming record, expected out early next year.
Sessions for the as-yet-untitled album took the band, now 20 years into their career, to Valentine Recording Studios in Laurel Canyon. There, the Black Lips recorded direct to 2-inch tape with the help of engineer/co-producer Nicolas Jodoin. If “Odelia” is any indication, we can expect the resulting full-length to be a collection of cosmic country that comes strutting off a dusty back porch with gritted teeth. Stream the new track below.
In addition, you can also hear a new mixtape, Coming to Your Country, which is described as a collection of “unheard home studio recorded offcuts and unreleased music old and new.” A limited number of hard copies will be available soon — perhaps at the band’s upcoming tour dates. Find that schedule below, and get tickets here.
