Retrospecting back to their We Did Not Know The Flower Spirit days, Black Lips have released another new tune! You couldn’t get such a contrasting tune if you tried. “Before You Judge Me” is bluesy, 200 Million Thousand “Body Combat” esque while “Best Napkin” is screechy with those “M.I.A” guitar sounds. Jared Swilley sounds more like Khan singing Almighty Defenders than himself. I’m really liking this one. I sort of over-reacted to “Before You Judge Me.” It’s great, but this one is just an awesome nod to old times and mischief.
Almighty Defenders performed at the Sled Island festival the other day without Khan. It makes sense because the other one had a bigger role in terms of signing songs. Khan is supposed to perform at that same festival with GZA, the Wu-Tang thing or other.
That was false. Sled Island excused Khan from his duties there. It says so right on their web site. I don’t know where that other thing came from. Ah, people they say things that are false.
