About Black Lips
Black Lips were started in Atlanta by Cole Alexander and Jared Swilley, and they made their name on chaotic, lo-fi live shows that were often messier than the records. Their early releases came through Vice, including 'Good Bad Not Evil', which carried the single 'Bad Kids'.
Mark Ronson produced 'Arabia Mountain', which brought a cleaner, more pop-conscious sound without losing the band's scrappy, sing-along garage songs. Later records leaned further into twang, and 'Sing in a World That's Falling Apart' is close to an outright country album.
