Yuck - Yuck

Yuck is a band that extends from Hiroshima to New Jersey and London. Originating from three different continents, the band is not at all an ethnic bundle of world music; but a truly impressive and solid alternative rock band.

The 5-piece band has a really distinctive sound. With an obvious 90s grunge influence, Yuck has a basement youth sound balanced with polished vocals and easy melodies.

Their self-titled album provides a perfect balance of upbeat songs and softer more emotional ones. Songs like “Rose gives a lily” immediately reminded me of Sonic Youth’s instrumental jams; with distorted guitars and pedal delays. “Get Away” and “The Wall” have heavy guitars and low-fi male vocals similar to the Strokes.

Other songs like “Suicide Policeman” and “Suck” are calm and nostalgic. You can truly sit back and relax after a long day to a song like “Stutter”. It flows really well, giving you space to doze off and daydream but still remembering the music.

This is an album truly worth hearing from start to end; it can satisfy any mood.

Memoryhouse

Many artists today are taking little chunks of works they admire to create a their own pieces. This recycling is clearly visible in the band Memoryhouse. To begin with, they appropriated the title from Max Richter’s first album, as homage to the ambient/classical composer. Through their name, the band stated their obvious influence of dream-ambiences. Yet they have managed to take dream music into a different realm of loops, synthesizers, and candid vocals.

In the song “Lately” the band samples Jon Brion’s “Phone Call” from the score of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The song feels so weightless that the loop could go on forever without a bore.

The band also redefines artworks in their music videos. With these short clips they provide perfect imagery for their sounds. The music video for the song “Sleep Patterns” is an artsy film with an awesome surprise at the end. It goes well with the song’s delayed guitar and melancholic vocals.
