Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin
So what does it take to make a great pop song? Apparently, it isn't as simple as it seems, and it times like these when we all hope to wake up in the morning to hear The Olivia Tremor Control are hard at work recording or maybe Beulah's back together with a new album and a tour to follow(oh my god!). Wishful thinking of course, but until that day comes we've gotta be thankful for a band like Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. They just released their debut album, Broom, and its nothing short of lo-fi pop greatness.
Now i can't go and take all the credit for these guys, Cokemachineglow found them first. But I felt it my duty to pass along the love to you guys.
CMG had this to say:
"There is no reinvention of wheels on Broom, but that’s really not the point, anyways. SSLYBY make good pop songs. May not seem like a whole lot, but, judging by how few really great pop tunes we’ve seen this year, a lot harder than it seems. Having ten in one bundle shouldn’t be taken lightly."
From Broom:
Pangea (Highly Rec'd!!!)
I am Warm + Powerful (Highly Rec'd!!!)
From Two People... Probably Thinking About Me EP
Let's get Tired!
Buy Broom from Geneq records
Stumble It!

So, I like that you indicate which tracks you really recommend.
Because that's wicked helpful.
KEEP IT UP, TREMOR CONTROL!
<3doricakes.
yeah, stole it from every other great blogger out there.
i enjoyed on their sites, it was very helpful, so i adopted it
You probably shouldn't direct link to mp3s on CMG or any other blog, for that matter. It's considered better ettiquette to link into the post rather than using their bandwith for your posting purposes.
Otherwise, nicely done and I'm enjoying the music.
Are you sure CMG discovered them first? I read about them on Catbirdseat a few months ago.
well, what i was basically implying was that i got them from cokemachineglow and not through my own devices...
josh, yeah i thougth about for a while before i actually did the direct links to cmg, but most people wouldnt want to bother to go to the actual review and download the tracks, most people want ease... i could have done savefiles of them, but, again... thats a pain as well.
but im not out to steal anyones bandwidth or piss anyone off. so ill heed that next time around
I just wrote an article on these guys as well:
