The death drive vs. really good produce

Alaska cropSomeone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin has been featured here a couple times in the past few years, and I wrote about them even more on the old, lost version of the site. To say that I love this band is an understatement. They're a model of a certain kind of artistry to me, and their music has been in my life for about a decade now. So it's pretty sweet to say that their new album, "The High Country," is probably the best thing they've ever done. I love their debut pretty hard, and that was what got them any attention in the first place, but this album is a total doozy. Just 11 tracks of ruthlessly catchy songs. I'll go so far as to say it reminds me of Weezer's "Blue Album" a whole lot, even though that comparison is both hyperbolic and inadequate and (definitely) overused at this point, it still gives you an idea of how enjoyable these songs are. Trevor Forever represents the album well: pace, distortion, urgency, concision, and beauty.[BUY The High Country]
