Black Lips / 200 Million Thousand

In The Red

Originally released in 2009 and never available on vinyl in the US, 200 Million Thousand is Black Lips’ most sonically dense and psychedelic album.   “Behind the outrageous stage act, there's actually some music worth recommending, as the album stands on its own—albeit precariously, while leaning on a wall for support, as it's the often-woozy sound of a seemingly buzzed band creating some seriously intoxicating music.” —Washington Post “Indeed, the cleaner sound and summery pop of Good Bad Not Evil has been ditched here for a psychedelic haze. They are stretching out as band here, pulling back their own tics in favor of things like style and tone. 200 Million Thousand is less consistent than any of their previous albums, with more winding paths than real peaks.” —Pitchfork
