new directions in familiar territory
"1 don’t know if it was a peripheral thing or the
fact that we'd finally dispelled this little cloud
over our heads that maybe 'La Bamba' had creat
ed a little bit of." Itand member Louie Perez said
'We were searching again for identity, to a cer
tain extent The song* began to emerge and they
didn't seem affected by anything. Thev sounded
liku thev had an almost childlike pureness to
them That was really exciting."
"We've been working on something like this
for a long time." added hand member David
Hidalgo "We attempted to do a few different
things on The Neighborhood, but we were just
leading up to it We always wanted to do some
thing different, to get away front the regular song
structures, maybe not think about how each song
has to be this pop song idea and trv to goof
around with it a little bit,"
'There was definitely a feeling we were play
ing stuff that was outside of everything else."
Perez said. "I felt good that we weren’t trying to
streamline anything to make it fit There was a
real freedom. When it was over, no one said a
word. We just all sat there, speechless It was
strong and powerful and emotional — everything
we d hoped for."
The band's enthusiasm over Kiko dispels any
concern about how its audience will receive it.
"It s always been about us trying to take
chances." Hidalgo said. "Anybody that does any
thing good is trying to take it to someplace new I
think that's what this record does, and that's
what matters."
With special guest Little Women. Los Lobos
will perform at the Eugene Hilton Ballroom
Thursday. Mav fi at B p.m. Tickets, SI3.50 for
students and S15.50 general admission are avail
able at the EMU Main Desk.

Fully Completely opens with
"Courage (for Hugh Mai Len
non)." whit-h has a guitar line like
on old Outlaws tune Out decid
edly mare desolate-sounding
Is n< s The song is an anthem for
Mai.Lennon, a (Canadian novelist
who died in l'i'in. and as such,
contains some distinctly literary
lyrics
Courage sets the stage for
what is to follow on the rest of
the album "So there's no simple
explanation#for anything impor
lain any of us do/and yoah the
human tragedy/consists in the
necessity/of living with the
consequences/under pressure,
under pressure."
hater tracks such as "Pigeon
Camera" and “Wheat Kings"
speak of a wickedly tempered
reality intoned by gently roiling
melodies significant of the prai
ries of the band's native country.
The lyrics of both songs allude to
some sinister act hidden by the
sheer vast ness of the land From
Pigeon Camera" "It was hand
some at the aui.tion/oh but when
we got it home it grew into some
thing we could no longer con
tain."
The Ivrics are more pointed in
'Wheat Kings": "In his Zippo
lighter, he sees the killer's
far.e/Mavbe it's someone stand
ing in a killer's place/twenty
years for nothing, well that's
nothing new.”
Despite exploring a dark, rest
less side of human nature, the
album does not come off as a
complete bummer, rather it is a
thoughtful work providing more
than a simple imitation of the sur
face layer of human lives. While
the kids' current favorite music
reflects their violent nature. Com
plotely Fully goes an extra step to
find out why that surfai e is so
rough
