BLACK LIPS UNVEIL NEW ALBUM, ‘SATAN’S GRAFFITI OR GOD’S ART?’

Atlanta flower punk pioneers BLACK LIPS have announced that their first album in three years, Satan’s Graffiti Or God’s Art?, is set for release May 5th in the UK through Vice Records. Produced by Sean Lennon at his studio compound in upstate New York throughout 2016, the album is the group’s most musically evolved to date, while still staying true to their original blistering take on fuzzy, dirty rock n’ roll.

During the recording the band isolated themselves from the outside world, infusing the album with a focused liveliness similar to the spirit that brought them together in the first place. On Satan’s Graffiti Or God’s Art? founding members Cole Alexander and Jared Swilley teamed with former guitarist Jack Hines (who played in the group from 2002-2004) and recent additions Oakley Munson on drums and Zumi Rosow on saxophone. The album also features contributions by Saul Adamczewski of FAT WHITE FAMILY and guest vocals by YOKO ONO.

The album is available to pre-order here with a teaser single, Can’t Hold On, streaming here.
