5.0 out of 5 stars Sincerely Adore, September 8, 2008

Imagine a band that absorbs some of the best influences of the last 40 years of rock music: the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Television, (and several others) and recasts them into a really rich and original sound. The band plugs into my modern moods; they are no "imitator"...they just learned all the right lessons.

Moreover, the band couldn't sound better: the warm two guitar rhythms, the velvet-worthy riffs, and the excellent rhythm section all impress. And the vocals work a lot of artistry into their slacker deadpan, which is, somehow, quite melodic. The album rarely fails to please. And it sounds better the louder it's played! God bless my ears.

I can't believe I'm the first person to review this album.

So far, this is my favorite indie-rock album of 2005. Yep, I said it and I mean it. Now, we all know there's been a ton of great albums so far this year, but this one has gotten the most steady play on my computer.

I guess it's just that Black Lipstick takes a lot of my favorite bands as their influences, and then finds a way to meld them together in a pleasing way.

The influences range from Velvet Underground and Jonathan Richman to Sonic Youth and Pavement to Television and Echo & the Bunnymen.

The music is pretty straight-forward and stripped down for the most part. Simple beats and chiming guitars. Intelligent lyrics. Good stuff.
