Video: Yuck - Georgia

One year after a random meeting and a recommendation, Yuck makes their debut in the desert.

Tweet To date I have been impervious to the retro charms of Yuck, nothing that I particularly disliked, just very little to mark them out. Funny then that 'The Wall' should work its magic given the simple structures employed. I should have guessed I'd relent at some stage though given that they are on Fat Possum. What is peculiar about Yuck is that they come from London but are styled to the letter on bands found across the water in the States. [...]

Asobi Seksu - Fluorescence (Polyvinyl Records) Asobi Seksu , segundo a própria banda, quer dizer algo como "sexo divertido", em japonês. O quinteto estadunidense chega ao quarto disco disposto a fazer exatamente isso: divertir e atingir um público mais amplo. Nos trabalhos anteriores, o shoegaze priorizou cada sulco do vinil. Agora, embora as guitarras ainda formem uma muralha de som, a banda procurou deixá-las num plano atrás da bela voz de Yuki Chikudate . Se a intenção era deixar tudo mais "audível", a diferença pouco se fez perceber. O DNA do Asobi [...]

If your debut album artwork looks like that (see below) and your band’s name is Yuck, there are only so many sounds that can be imagined. Something like anger-hate-joke-punk instantly comes to mind. When first hearing about the name alone a couple of months ago, I dismissed them as something I thought I would hate [...]

Fizzy, fuzzy, yum, yum. Album out 2/15 on Fat Possum .

Not sure how I've slept on this band for so long. This song has been on replay for me most of the day today. Clearly going to have to dig up as much from them as I can.

There are two lists we think perfectly bookend the end of one year and the beginning of another. We’ve already published our favourite albums of 2010. And, to herald the start of 2011, we’re now giving you our predictions on who’s going to be big this year. We haven’t used crystal balls or hamster gizzards to make these predictions. Instead we’re basing this list on pure opinion, subjectivity and belief. If we’re wrong we’re wrong. But we have a strong feeling in our guts about these bands and artists that can’t solely be attributed to the lunchtime tacos. [...]

Die BBC Longlist ist da. 15 Bands, die nächstes Jahr euren iPod füllen werden. Auch heuer hat's wieder ein paar "safe bets" unter den Nominierten. Mehr als 150 Musikschaffende, Blogger, Produzenten und Journalisten befragt die BBC jeweils für ihre Longlist , die immer im Dezember veröffentlicht wird. Anfang Januar gibt's dann aus der Long- eine Shortlist mit den fünf Bands und/oder Acts, die den Durchbruch mehr oder weniger auf Sicher haben. Die Treffsicherheit der BBC-Listen ist beängstigend gut. Auch dieses Jahr finden sich wieder einige sichere Werte [...]

As the year draws to an end its that time when we look through 11 months worth of music to bring you the 'Best Of' list.  The first installment in our ' Best Of' feature is 'Newcomers', which will be followed by 'Best Tracks', 'Best Albums' & finished off with our 'To Watch in 2011' list towards the end of the month. Tame Impala If theres a better psych-rock group around at the moment

Naming your new band is one of the most difficult things to get done. Sure, getting a drummer who is not a latent psychopath intent on imbibing anything that will take him to whole new vast universes of inebriation is tough, but still nowhere near as hard as finding a name that's original, memorable, or just acceptable. If you've got a great name, like Sufjan Stevens , or have a moment of genius and call yourself Mastodon , then you're sorted, but some recent names, like Tame Impala or Wavves , are just plain rubbish.

They grow up so quickly. A few months back I wrote about Yuck , a multi-national act with a mere two songs in the can. Now look at them: live dates with Times New Viking and Japandroids , a bunch of new tunes and their first video. If asked to envision a video for Georgia , I don't think it would have occurred to me to use footage of the Queen's NASCAR from the 70s, no matter [...]
