We love buzzy London quintet Yuck and their nineties-college-radio amalgamating sound (see: “Rubber,” which sounds like a sunshine headache), and we’re really psyched for their upcoming self-titled debut record. The band keep dropping tracks to tide us over until its release on Fat Possum in February – first was “Holing Out” and next is “Coconut Bible,” its b-side.
The new song is melodic and driving in a head-nodding, finger-snapping, radio-ready way – guitars chime and wail through that familiar hungover dirty drone (classically Yuck because it’s classically alt-rock), strained vocals sound delivered through a megaphone. Sounds like waking up in the early afternoon, sun flares through Venetian blinds. Rub the sleep out of your eyes!

When we first clicked play on this song and all that came in was that single, lonely piano plunk, we have to admit we were surprised. Hearing that a band is called Yuck, you expect lo-fi power chords, maybe a shouted chorus, some dark, blurry pictures of the band playing in a warehouse or something. But no, instead we get Justin Vernon-esque intimate and stark vocals and a creepy/awkward/awesome line about keeping semen to yourself. The fact that this is labeled as a demo over at Pinglewood could mean a couple things: either it's going to stay as minimal as we're hearing it now (good idea), or the real version will come replete with a full string section, rapid fire drum rolls an an entire men's choir (bad idea).
