"Ummagma – a Canadian-Ukrainian duo comprised of Alexander Kretov and Shauna McLarnon – deliver richly layered soundscapes and mesmerizing vocals. Ummagma’s eclectic yet harmonious potpourri of alt pop, dreampop, post-rock, post-punk, ambient/ethereal, shoegaze and space rock brings sublime resonance, beats and rhythm to create a virtual dream pop rock haven. McLarnon’s delicate airy gossamer-like vocals often draw comparisons to Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins fame with glimmers of Stereolab, The Sundays, SPC ECO, Nathalie Merchant and Slowdive. Kretov's spellbinding potion of guitar, vocals, synths, beats, programming & effects create an impeccable Floydish Fripp-laced soundscape that helps the listener take flight". [...]

Hallo Holland, Canada hier. Het is de hoogste tijd dat jullie ons indiepop bandje Yukon Blonde eens wat meer gaan draaien. Ja, we weten dat hun nieuwe plaat Tiger Talk op die luisterpaal staat, maar die staat elke week propvol met platen die je “echt moet horen” waardoor je er de helft dus niet van [...]
Un sábado con olor a oldie. Un día con sabor a que debían regresar los viejos tiempos, por lo menos una tarde. Fans ansiosos por ver a sus bandas favoritas de antaño. Agrupaciones que fueron vistas muy pocas veces pero escuchadas, cientos. Así fue el pasado 11 de febrero en el ya conocido Foro Alicia [...]
Bands finden ihre Namen ja auf ungewöhnliche Weise, aber dass ein Kollege, mit dem man gerade auf Tour ist, einen neuen Namen vorschlägt, ist doch etwas Besonderes. Alphababy waren mit dem bekannten kanadischen Singer/Songwriter Jon-Rae Fletcher unterwegs, als der plötzlich vorschlug, dass die Band sich doch besser Yukon Blonde nennen solle. Das kam bei den [...] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Greetings from the home of Steve Miller, Orson Welles and Ed Gein, and the new wave in politics: recall elections. Been really busy with the film project and other activities of late. We're getting ready for recall season once again in Wisconsin, and we had another Occupy Milwaukee demonstration this weekend. The date is approaching when we begin gathering signatures for a recall of Governor Scott Walker, the point man in the Tea Party, Koch brothers-fueled attack on wo...

I've been following Yukon Blonde for a few years now and they've just released a nifty little EP called Fire/Water. It's a handful of awesome tunes in the vein of My Morning Jacket or Band Of Horses but so much nicer harmonies. Check out this great video for the track "Water". Makes me thirsty. Stumble This Post
Click here to view the video on YouTube. Check out Canada’s Yukon Blonde video for their track "Water" from their recently released Fire//Water EP on Dine Alone Records. Similar to their track "Fire" its a refreshing classic rock style tune with harmonies that are awe-inspiring. The video is remarkably beautiful, and tells the tale of a group of western travelers one of whom is on the wrong end of an arrow. Check it out, and grab the Fire // Water EP. Buy Fire//Water

" Now this Canuck's gonna beat on you like the drummer from Yukon Blonde hopped up on TimBits ." Like many others, I did a double take when I heard the soaring harmonies and 602s sunshine rock of Yukon Blond mentioned alongside other easy Hoser reference points like Justin Bieber, putine and Gretzky during last night's How I Met Your Mother . If you spent any time with the band's self-titled debut, you know they deserve any and all attention they receive, I just had no idea they had reached that [...]
Moving is the worst, but for some reason I have decided to do it five times in the last two years. Oh well. This ought to ease the stress of yet another move. It's the harmony-laden rocker "Water" by Yukon Blonde , the second sort-of title track from the new Fire//Water EP. Watch the video below, and don't be surprised if you start feeling slightly thirsty. I interviewed the band for Exclaim! and reviewed the EP for the Georgia Straight .
