Illinois math rockers Loose Lips Sink Ships are releasing a split 7" entitled Eating Happens with Victor Villarreal (Joan of Arc, Cap'n Jazz, Ghosts & Vodka, Owls) on August 27th through Whaleplane Records. The split features Loose Lips Sink Ships' whimsically-titled A-side "Sarah Palin's Parasailing" b/w Victor Villarreal's beautiful acoustic gem "Prophesying Hypothesis". You can now pre-order it, and you better because it's going to be a limited pressing of 500 hand numbered copies -- that and it's awesome. The cover photo was taken by Randi Stella and Adam Minorczyk created the back cover collage seen here. Hear the whole thing below.
Loose Lips Sink Ships' "Sarah Palin's Parasailing" packs a week's worth of emotion into just over four minutes of some of the most adventurous and dynamic math rock around. It's a story in a song that has no need for words or any hint of vocals because instrumentally it's already so expressive.
Victor Villarreal's "Prophesying Hypothesis" is a gorgeous fingerpicked folk tune that features heartfelt vocals over a lovely acoustic backdrop. A severe thunderstorm just passed through this area, and as I was typing this, the sky went from being nearly pitch black to bright and sunny. I'd like to think that "Prophesying Hypothesis" made that happen.
BUY: Preorder the Eating Happens 7" here before it's gone.
