Black Lips - Sing In A World That's Falling Apart (2020)

It's country music but not as we know it which begs the question: have these Bad kids of 21st Century rock 'n' roll finally grown up on their ninth studio album? 'Sing In a World That's Falling Apart' continues to flick the middle finger to one and all. These are, after all, the same Black Lips who rescued the waning garage punk subgenre by not sounding or dressing their musical predecessors. They also dug contemporary hip-hop and punk and actualised themselves.
