Description
Release Date Friday 19th September 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
Released alongside their new album Season Of The Peach, Bebop Armageddon (Detours & Offcuts From Season Of The Peach) is a wild companion piece: a collection of demos, alternate versions, and sonic misadventures dragged from the edges of the Lips’ recent sessions and committed to wax for the real heads.
If Season Of The Peach is the full-colour hallucination - part garage rock fantasia, part scorched-earth Americana - Bebop Armageddon is its ragged, magnetic shadow. These 14 tracks take a more deranged route through the same terrain, offering up mutant sketches, beautiful wreckage, and freak-scene detours that rumble with raw charm and chaotic invention.
There are alternate mixes (‘Kassandra’), demo versions (‘Judas Pig’, ‘Zulu Saints’), and woozy reimaginings like ‘The Illusion Pt. 1 (dream mix)’. There are brand-new diversions too - ‘Colt 44’ (featuring King Khan) rattles forward like a freight train threatening to derail, while ‘Satan’ and ‘Back To Kiev’ offer up scorched psych, barroom gospel, and haunted front-porch melodies in equal measure.
All tracked to analogue tape at Oakley Munson’s Sound At Manor studio in the Catskills, Bebop Armageddon captures the spirit of the sessions in raw, unmannered form. No clean lines. No retakes. No gloss.
This is the chaos underneath the polish - the cuts that wouldn’t behave.
