I really tried my hardest to get into the Black
Lips album ‘200 Million Thousand’ but
my efforts failed miserably as I really couldn’t
find anything positive to about the album, it could
be down to the fact that the band just don’t
fit in the big diverse collection of music that
I am into or it could be that Black Lips are simply
quite shocking, anyway I will leave everyone to
make their own mind up on that, whilst I tell you
about the bands new single ‘Drugs’ which
is released on the 24th August.
‘Drugs’ see’s Black Lips team
up with Faris Rotter from The Horrors, now in
my eyes I couldn’t see a mix of artists
any worse than this as I think pretty much the
same of The Horrors as I do of Black Lips, and
I think both bands are like marmite, you either
love or hate them. ‘Drugs’ is a song
that is about the band simply driving around and
taking drugs like you do, musically the song sounds
like it is from way back in the 60’s with
the way that it sounds like it was recorded in
a real dark basement on an cheap tape recorder,
the song does surprisingly have a bit of a catchy
vibe about it and I can imagine a bunch of hippies
spinning around listen to this after having a
massive joint.
The b-side ‘I’ll Be With You’
is the song that features Faris Rotter from The
Horrors, or should I say Lumina as he likes to
known here, the song is very dark and creepy sounding
and overall feels like Marilyn Manson after taking
too much ketamine, with very drowny vocals and
minimum efforts overall, if you want an alternative
to sleeping pills then this song could well become
your best friend.
I have said all I can on Black Lips and the various
songs they have released in the past, my mind
hasn’t changed with the release of ‘Drugs’,
instead I just feel very depressed and am need
of some happy music to perk me up, if you are
in a daring mood give ‘Drugs’ a listen
but don’t hope for too much or you could
well be disappointed.
2/5
