The Looselips are based in Chino, California and formed under Dylan Harris in 2019. Harris along with a couple of musicians recently released Who Are The Looselips? There are three songs all under the umbrella of rock.
The EP starts with “Everything” which revolves around jangly, reverb laced guitar, a steady bass and a pulsating drum kit. I thought the song was instantly catchy. Harris has a palatable voice that I found warm and easy to enjoy. The song is a tender, but not saccharine, love song. It was a great opener. I thought the songwriting and structure was top notch. I was getting a slightly different flavor on “High on the Low.” There was an ’80s flavor on this song somewhere between The Smiths and INXS. The chorus is fantastic and very infectious while the transition back to the verse has a ’90s alternative quality to it. Last up is “Green Eyed Wonder” which is the arguable highlight. This song has a hint, perhaps more than a hint, of ’50s pop and rock. I have to say I really liked this style and he knocks it out of the park when it comes to the vocals. It really works well with the lyrics which veer back to that era as well. The lyrics are reminiscent of the romanticized ideal pattern that was happening with songs like “Dream Lover” and “Earth Angel.” The EP is short and comes in around eight minutes in length. That being said there isn’t an ounce of fat on these songs. I also felt like this EP displayed different styles but nothing was too far away from each other. It wasn’t like he was attempting hip-hop. I would say this is a great EP and hopefully we will get a full length or just some more music in the not too distant future.
