Holy crap! These three new songs (four if you get the digital version released by Lujo Records) by Look Mexico come on some very nice vinyl with cool artwork and… holy crap! They sound amazing! Guitars and vocals whirl and swirl all over and around each other and every time a throbbing bassline or another one of those awesome riffs is at the risk of going overboard it is drawn right back into this maelstrom of sounds. It’s as if there’s ten contrasting things going on in one and the same song yet they all work together to become this little wonderfully melodic gem of post-rock-indie-whateveryouwannacallit that is a perfect fit for all you Minus The Bear fans out there.
With this release Look Mexico pulled off the perfect heist… they come in, do their thing and get the hell out, leaving the listener behind all dazzled and confused but without the metallic aftertaste that comes with having a gun shoved down your throat. Hopefully a new full-length is in the works and hopefully this will be the first of many great releases by the new Tiny Engines label.
Score: 8 out of 10
