Yuck Announce New Album and Share ‘Hearts In Motion’

0006031793_10

London-based indie band Yuck have announced a new album, Stranger Things.

The new record, their third, is out on February 26th and is preceded by new single ‘Hearts In Motion’. Yuck have made a solid name for themselves for whipping up their own brand of ’90s inspired lo-fi fuzz and the latest single, well it does very little to dispel this reputation. ‘Hearts In Motion’ is hook-ridden, reverb-laden and driven indie guitar heroics, with some added power-pop punch. Amid the general guitar bop, there are astonishingly lush layered harmonies and whirling guitar riffs. This is a triumphant & confident return for the band, and easily one of their best tracks to date, and that’s saying something.

Yuck’s new album Stranger Things, is out on February 26th. Take a listen to ‘Hearts In Motion’ below. Yuck have announced huge list of live dates including Fortune Sound Club, Vancouver on March 29th. See the full list here.

 

 

Yuck – ‘Middle Sea’

130814-yuck-glow-behold-middle-sea-track-list-stream

Yuck‘s self-titled debut album was a dashing reinvention of alternative ’90s rock, and one of 2011’s most enjoyable records to boot.

Now, two years on, the London based trio are back with a new track, ‘Middle Sea’, taken from their forthcoming second LP Glow & Behold. If you were into the first record, chances are you will dig the new tune as it sees them sticking to familiar waters. ‘Middle Sea’ is a fuzzed up alt-rock anthem with distorted vocals and crunching guitars piled on top of each other, before some lavish flourished of brass kick in toward the end, lifting it to a whole other level.  This is a top notch return from Yuck, no doubt about it. Hopefully the album reaches a similar standard.

Glow & Behold is out September 30th.
