Black Lips shared some new music when they spoke out against Trump with an "Anarchy Style Punk Song" last November, but now they're ready to return with a proper full-length album. They'll release Satan's Graffiti or God's Art? on May 5 via Vice Records.
The Atlanta band's latest LP was produced by none other than Sean Lennon, and it was recorded at his studio compound in Upstate New York last year. The process found members Cole Alexander and Jared Swilley reuniting with former guitarist Jack Hines, as well as adding new players Oakley Munson and Zumi Rosow on drums and saxophone, respectively. Other notable appearances include guest vocals from Lennon's mom Yoko Ono, and contributions from Fat White Family's Saul Adamczewski.
A press release promises that the 18 new tracks deliver the band's "most musically evolved" effort to date, while retaining the "fuzzy, dirty rock'n'roll" that Black Lips fans have come to expect. Check out the full tracklisting down below, as well as a string of just-announced North American tour dates.
Beyond all that, get an introduction to the group's latest album by streaming the brand new track "Can't Hold On."
