Ese Culito

about this album

By Mariana Timony Arizona bands have always marched to the beat of a different drum. Must be all that sun. It either fries the brain or makes it more lucid, I’m not sure which. Tuscon’s Lenguas Largas don’t do much to disprove my (entirely anecdotal) theory on Ese Culito, their one-sided 12” out on Volar. Listening to this record is like taking a 10-minute trip through rock history with Lenguas Largas as the pothead tour guides. There’s a lazy 60’s jam mashed up with atonal post-punk drone on the cheeky title song sung en Español, an acoustic folk song given the acid treatment in “Lower Profile”, and a jangly pop song straight out of 1986 with “Blizzards of Snow”. The motley collection seems a bit patched together, but stronger tracks are capable of standing on their own. The regimented and riff-heavy “7 Pacificos” conjures up a psychedelic Joy Division, while closing track “Little C’s” shimmers like heat waves on the horizon. Hot, hazy, and high as a kite: sounds like desert music to me. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
