Find myself laying around the apartment nursing an unexpected headache on the couch... I made myself a hearty breakfast in hopes of clearing the cobwebs but that didn't seem to do the trick. So I find myself on the couch, day blogging and listening to the album Yuck – Yuck (Deluxe) by Yuck. A noisy 90's guitar fuzz/shoegazer album that will remind you of all the bands you wish were still releasing great stuff like: MBV, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, Teenage Fanclub...
The album sorta got panned for being too derivative, but I'm cutting them some slack because I think the album sounds great, giving that they self produced it and they're fucking really young.
I may be in the minority, but I really dig the sleeve art for this album.
They put out a sophomore effort last year but I never quite got into it. I may have to revisit it later today tho... I may have just listened to it in the dead of winter and I wasn't in the right headspace.
