The Black Lips haven’t won any new fans in the past week, and now they’re struggling to get people to focus on the music again by releasing a video from 200 Million Thousand. This clip for “Let it Grow” is as grainy and lo-fi as the song itself, and follows a portly gentleman who is obsessed with aliens.
Like much of the album, this is a dirge-y track that doesn’t ever capture the exuberance of a Black Lips live show. The band members are capable of producing some infernally catchy garage rock when they put their minds to it, but very little of that ability is on display on 200 Million Thousand. Sadly, it looks as though their juvenile off-stage antics, which always threatened to tarnish their reputation, have finally eclipsed the Black Lips' music.
