***Split Lips, Winning Hips, A Shiner is proof that SHAPES AND SIZES aim to please the while not pandering. Imagine a soulful top 40 Thinking Fellers playing songs for the prom. Lyrically Split Lips is at once celebratory and derogatory; among other things, a peculiar but calculated meditation on naive nationalism and potent protest. Split Lip's harmonious discord is also technical: the band recorded with JC/DC Studios (Destroyer, New Pornographers, Tegan and Sara, etc.) and mixed with RAFTER ROBERTS (Fiery Furnaces, The Rapture, The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower) to forge a pristine decomposition. Don't try turning it down—the overdrive provides the framework for equally aggressive lyrics that combine sensuality, violence, and social critique.
