...and in August this year, Loose Lips Sink Ships released a split with Victor Villarreal called
Eating Happens. Wow, that's odd. It's not that the two songs don't quite flow together (they don't), but more that after hearing what loose lips have to offer, I stop listening. I actually changed the track. I have no idea why whoever put this split together thought it was a good idea, but it wasn't. That said, and I will ignore the Villarreal track, the Loose Lips track is nothing short of incredible. It is complex, challenging and, above all, LLSS have stuck to what they do best: stop/start epic math-rock. The guitar lines are a mixture of long clean and fast melodies (I definately sense some right hand here) and distorted pauses. The drum track is as pleasing as ever, enough break beats and jazzy ride cymbals to satisfy Squarepusher. There is a sever lack of section repetition, to the tracks credit and an outro so atmospheric and layered Steve Reich would be proud (not to mention the mallets). Furthermore, it has the ludicrous name:
Sarah Palin's Parasailing. I really rate this track (although not the split) so please have a listen and I award a grade of (for the track):
1st
