They are amazing and you should buy this
I’m going to post the following press release with minor editing, because it is far more clever than anything I could write. However, I would like to state for the record that I saw Look Mexico at the Knitting Factory when I was in New York, and they managed to get the entire Old Office room to sit down while they played a song. It was amazing and cool, and they’re one of my new favorite bands. They have a wonderful indie / alt.country sound that just lilts along beautifully. They are also remarkably personable, and covered a truly awful song and made it sound good for Vinyl Collective’s Under the Influences series.
“GASP ASP, the newest 7-inch from Tallahassee, Florida’s LOOK MEXICO, is available now for pre-order from fledgling, destined-to-fail label, Tiny Engines.
Go here to grab a copy of this tasty slab of plastic. Orders will ship on November 25th and will include an mp3 download code for the songs.
Undoubtedly Look Mexico’s best work to date, Gasp Asp builds on the foundation of their brief-but-impressive catalog - the dynamic instrumental interplay, undeniably catchy melodies and a knack for keeping things unpredictable. Still, these three tracks inject a welcomed sense of maturity and craftsmanship, and Look Mexico sound more assured of their songwriting abilities than ever before. The band has truly discovered its own unique voice in indie rock.
On the other hand, Tiny Engines hasn’t done a single noteworthy thing, save for this 7-inch… which isn’t even out yet. Having said that, we’re fairly confident that we put together a really sweet first release. There are 1000 copies of the vinyl being pressed in three colors: light blue (200), white (200) and green (600). We also printed jackets (art by the band’s Josh Mikel / layout by JLP) featuring matte-finish and two foil-stamping variations. Of course, it’s easy to put together an awesome package when you’re working around three amazing songs.”
