Yukon Blonde

Add Date: February 9

Artist: Yukon Blonde

Album: Yukon Blonde

Label: Bumstead/Nevado

Genre: Pop

Comments: From Hero Hill:

"The synths and harmonies that jump start the LP trigger countless memories of a time where music mattered to people - to make it easier, lets just all remember the moment where Zooey Deschanel hooks her nerdy little bro with a candle and a copy of Tommy - but band is determined to prove that they are more than the sum of their influences. ...

"Honestly, if you can't get into this record you are simply trying too hard. The hat trick of hooks that is 'Trivial Fires,' 'Brides Song' and 'Babies Don't Like Blue Anymore' can stack up against any fourteen minutes of Canadian music you will hear this year, but the unexpected highs are just as important to the success of the band. The surging power of the anthemic Loyal Man moves you from the breezy, sun filled days you expect and makes you think anything is possible. When it comes to Yukon Blonde, I'm starting to think that it just might be."

This Vancouver group is getting compared to Fleet Foxes, Midlake and Black Mountain. Check out "Babies Don't Like Blue Anymore."
