I really love Holy Fuck's LP. It is an album suited to many occasions, and most of them being occasions during which you are completely wasted and fucking shit up. Their new album, Latin, isn't particularly music to get drunk and fucked shit up on, but more like moody background music for a kickback with about seven stoners passing a bong around.

That's not to say that the music isn't good, because Holy Fuck doesn't disappoint in the musicianship department. It's just that there is a change of mood, and it's evident immediately in opener 1MD which is a pensive 4 minute long build. Seriously, it goes on for four minutes, and there are no hooks to it except that it really does just build for four straight minutes. Other tracks, like the near titular Latin America is another song based on a moody riff that builds slowly throughout the track. There wasn't anything on LP that felt moody, but Latin is full of emotions.

On my first listen, Stilettos was the only song that really made me take notice. I remember it well, because I looked at my iPod and saw that it took 7 tracks for me to finally take note of a track. That says something, I think, but what speaks louder is that right now, listening to it for the third time, a lot of the tracks ares starting to sound better and better.

Perhaps at first I was disappointed that this wasn't LP2, but now I'm getting over that. The moodiness, the scope of emotion now evident in these Holy Fuck songs, are a definite change for sure, but it's a welcome change. Sometimes it's hard to remember that change isn't all bad. This is the Holy Fuck chill out record.
