One wondered if, when Black Lips signed up to work with Mark Ronson for Arabia Mountain, the band was maturing, settling down, and focusing on its artwork. I think the new video for "Family Tree" easily dispels that notion -- there's a crucifixion scene (Cole), some Black Lips signature puking, and buckets of pig blood dumped both on bandmembers and women in their underwear. Some things, thankfully, never change. NSFW, but just barely, if your work doesn't really give a shit anyway.
Arabia Mountain is out now on Vice.
