Jul 8, 2011From backmasking to know-it-all moralists, Arabia Mountain is sprinkled with themes of human folly, aging, change, and corruption, enacted with humorous efficiency, delivered with instrumental-new word-subtlety, all to show, unsurprisingly, that the Black Lips differ greatly with the PTA over the corrupting agents of everyday life and their antidotes.

Jun 7, 2011Awash in trippy reverb and surf-rock riffs, Arabia Mountain is further proof that the Lips have matured.
