  • They Say...

    Continuing their blend of sweet indie pop tunes and off-kilter dynamic shifts, the third album by Austin quartet Black Lipstick is their best yet, featuring a solid collection of songs led off by the outstanding fuzz-pop of "B.O.B. F.O.S.S.E.," which has the implacable throb of a classic Flying Nun single from the '80s. Elsewhere, the epic trance-outs "Grandma Airplane" and "All Night Long Forever" recall the Hoboken scene of prime Feelies, Antietam, and early Yo La Tengo, and on the careening "No Mercy," the group finally succumbs to the temptation to outright pay tribute to the early Velvet Underground, right down to a one-chord piano part straight out of "White Light, White Heat." In other words, there's little on Sincerely, Black Lipstick that hasn't been done before, but the group does it with such obvious affection for the style that it doesn't feel simply derivative.
