Black Lips return with cheerful ode to their elders "Rumbler"

"Rumbler" arrives after last year's singles "Gentleman" and "Odelia".

Black Lips' Jared Swilley says of "Rumbler", "This is a song I wrote about a G.I. Joe doll, code-named Rumbler, that I am almost certain is based on my great uncle and war hero Bobby Earl Swilley. The cadence of the song is kind of based on a bear hunting poem that my granddaddy, Bobby Earl's brother, used to recite to me. This is an ode to my elders."

Sing In A World That’s Falling Apart will be Black Lips' first album since 2017's Satan's Graffiti or God’s Art?.

The new album was recorded and co-produced by Nic Jodoin at LA's Valentine Recording Studios.
