If American Football had traded their somber musings for a more upbeat
demeanor, Look Mexico would have had an older twin brother. The fact
is, both exemplify everything good that can result from jazzy
instrumentation and cohesive song structures. Look Mexico just chooses
to do this with a grin from ear to ear.
But Midwestern emo comparisons aside, the band is able to succeed very
well on its own merit. Whether whimsically rising and falling with
slight vocal accompaniment, or playfully meandering along as "I Had I
a Wrench, And I Hit Him," and "Watch Out for This" respectively
display, there's an inherent level of comfort in vocals and
instrumentation alike. The ebb and flow never ceases to provide
tangible emotion, nor the perfect intonations for it to travel in on.
Agrella reflects on his childhood through an uncommon observation, and
the rhythm on which these words are told make them seem just that much
more honest. "The heart of youth and growing needs, is an argument /
This invention, the mighty wheel / How it has changed us all," he
sings in "Me and My Dad Built Her," and nobody, for even a second, can
question how much he means it.
The instrumental side of the band is able to speak in equal volumes,
as "Comin' in Hot with a Side of Bacon" makes unquestionably clear.
Four minutes may not seem like a very long time, but Look Mexico is
able to pack so many great riffs and fluid transitions into that
timespan that all that's left to wonder, is why you hadn't heard of
them sooner.
The charming melodies established by the band's four members hook you
instantly, and when things get turned up a notch or two, they stay
with a solid linear vision. Each song, instrumental or not, has a
point A and a point B; the paths are always gorgeous, and you never
have time to wonder where things are going. The present moment, well,
it's perfect enough. |
