Black Lips announce 200 Million Thousand, Winter tour

You don't have to be a hip-hopper to be an ATLien. Sure, the jewel of the south may be famous for liking its beat down low and its top laid back, but there's a host of weird and wonderful post-punksters and power-poppers brimming in the galleries and dive bars of Atlanta. Take the Black Lips: after 2007s widely-acclaimed Good Bad Not Evil, this coming Spring will see the release of follow-up LP 200 Million Thousand.

A press release from MySpace Music promises a "time capsule rife with nods to simple pleasures and a world of worry. It's a modern, mature reflection on life and the world traveled." Well, all right guys, just as long as that world isn't too far from The Majestic.

In support of their new LP, the ATL's premier flower-punk outfit will be hitting the road at the end of February for a jaunt across the East Coast and Midwest that'll last until the end of March. 200 Million Thousand is out Feb. 24 on Vice.
