Pershing (CD)
Pershing is the sophomore release from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Since the band's critically acclaimed debut, Broom, they have shared the stage with the likes of Mute Math, of Montreal, Sound Team, Catfish Haven and Chin Up Chin Up, to name a few. They headlined a European tour and even made their way to their namesake's homeland of Russia! Spin declared them the band that "could succeed The Shins" and enthusiastic press rolled in. Now, they are raising the bar even higher with Pershing.
Pershing has all of the attributes that made Broom so endearing; however, while Broom posed SSLYBY as a promising young act on the rise, Pershing seems to act as its mission statement. On Pershing, SSLYBY works out its adventurous streak by way of quirky chord changes amid massive hooks and addictive melodies. The new model is not only an improvement on the original, but seemingly posits itself as the shape of things to come. Tracks "Think I Wanna Die," "Glue Girls," "Modern Mystery," "Boring Fountain," and "Dead Right" are sure to be favorites.![]()
