Black Lips recently spoke to Pitchfork about some upcoming plans. Among them are some details about the follow up to Good Bad Not Evil:
I do want to get more conceptual on our albums, just doing weird stuff. It doesn't have to be a song. It could be a skit or something like that. I read this article the other day in The New York Times about a phonautogram. I actually recorded it onto my phone, and I want to play that from off the phone onto our album and have a history lesson on our album. we're planning to work on our new album this summer. The movie we were working on got postponed a little bit, so that freed up some time this summer.

They also mentioned the film Let It Be, noting:

It's in preproduction, getting financing, so now we're going to make a new record this summer. I want to have it out this year, so we can have an album come out every year, but we'll see. I think they're leaning Replacements, and we're leaning more Butthole Surfers.

The story is more or less the same-- an 80s band in America touring the DIY circuit and what that was like-- but it's more the characteristics, the aesthetics of the band. I like the Replacements, don't get me wrong, but our band is more psychedelic. That's kind of what Butthole Surfers were. The Replacements were more of a pop group.
