Black Lips<\/a> build a surreal bridge between Lou Reed and the late televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker in the new video for their song \u201cGet It on Time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video was directed by David Black, who shot the clip on a mix of 16mm film and repurposed television equipment he bought from a studio that used to belong to Bakker. The video jumps between, and slowly blends, footage of the Black Lips<\/a> performing \u201cGet It on Time\u201d as a group and a delightfully gauzy and melodramatic sequence in which saxophonist Zumi Rosow sings the simmering cut, which started as an unfinished Velvet Underground track.<\/p>\n

\u201cZumi and I have been friends and collaborators since we were kids, and \u2018Get It on Time\u2019 seemed the perfect song to resurrect Tammy Faye\u2019s studio,\u201d Black said in a statement. \u201cWe paid homage to the legacy of the Velvets by shooting the rest of the video on 16mm film during a recording session at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles. The video moves between two worlds of performance and document, ultimately blurring the boundary between the two.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGet It on Time\u201d appears on the Black Lips\u2019 latest album, Sing in a World That\u2019s Falling Apart<\/i>, which was released in January. The song, however, has been jumping around in drummer Oakley Munson\u2019s head for nearly 20 years, ever since he first heard it at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh on a bootleg recording of the Velvet Underground practicing at the Factory. As Munson tells Rolling Stone<\/i>, just as the song gets underway in the recording, Reed can be heard telling the band to stop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m certain if they had finished this it would be on the first album and cited by critics as a classic song by the band,\u201d Munson says. \u201cBut it was thrown away and that made it mysterious to me. One night I decided to finish the song, with Lou Reed\u2019s help. I went into an empty room, lit some candles, and wrote the first words down. Almost effortlessly these words that didn\u2019t have anything to do with me came out. It only took a few minutes and I had the song. Even though I still don\u2019t know what it\u2019s about, it has the same mesmerizing sadness and Zumi\u2019s singing is really iconic. I\u2019m glad it\u2019s done. It only took one pass in the studio and we had it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Black Lips recently kicked off a North American tour in support of Sing in a World That\u2019s Falling Apart<\/i> that wraps with two hometown shows in Atlanta March 13th and 14th at the Earl. They\u2019ll also play a handful of SXSW shows in Austin, March 18th through 21st.<\/p>\n
