"Classic Black vinyl, Lyric insert + DL card. The Black Lips return with their 10th studio album, Apocalypse Love, which again comes with the band's trademark mood of menace, cryogenically mutating all the accepted musical basics; spinning sea yarns about old Soviet synthesizers, Benzedrine frenzy, coup de' tats, stolen valour and certified destruction, all against the backdrop of a black setting sun. Since the turn of the millennium, the band has transformed from austere country pioneers into a group of Lynchian surrealists intent on turning the history of rock 'n' roll on its head. Singer and saxophonist Zumi Rosow muses, "It's a crazy dance record, one that reflects the moment the world is in right now.... Apocalypse Love is an album that comes from the jukebox of a dive bar in the back of your head, with a playlist that moves between doom-glam, Plastic Ono singalongs, cocktail-shaken space-age pop, Morricone reverb and lo-fi outsider acoustic punk, with mariachi horns, theremins, drum machines and harmonies interspersing the infectious melodies." Standout number "Among The Dunes" is an amorphous anthem with platform heels, a signature sax-driven stomper full of trippy momentum. Opener "No Rave" offers a hypnotic, locked groove with Cole Alexander's trademark growl over a sulphurous wall of distorted hedonism, a dystopian anthem for an apocalyptic manifesto. The twisted exoticism of "Whips Of Holly" with its silver screen facade is like the soundtrack to a classic Theda Bara vamp fest. Apocalypse Love" is proof that the Black Lips show no signs of slowing down, even in their third decade of existence. "A wonderful new chapter_ The world may be on fire, but at least we have Black Lips." The Line Of Best Fit // "Simply masters in their field" NME //"
