Lollo Rosso moves in odd directions at times, but it definitely represents the unique style and talent of the High Llamas.

Putting out soundtracks as records implies they are indeed good enough to stand on their own, and I’m not convinced this one can.

There are some hints of Tortoise’s more relaxed jams, but without the art-school edge.

This strikes me as a full-length that would have been a better EP had more judicious editing been used.
