MP3: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Sink / Let It Sway

Holy shit you guys, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin have a new record coming out! It's called "Let It Sway" and it sees release August 17th from the good ole boys at Polyvinyl. The first song released, "Sink / Let It Sway", definitely has the SSLYBY sound, which is awesome because that sound is radical. Can't wait for this one, coming just in time for the end of summer.

Pre-order it here and get yourself some free shiz, including a bonus 3 song digital ep.

MP3: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Glue Girls

It's always great news when a great band gives word of a new great record. It's even greater when you get to hear a bit of said great record. Enter "Glue Girls", the lead track from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin's upcoming "Pershing" lp. Even though "Broom", the band's last effort, feels so new, it being a reissue resulted in it appearing younger than it truly was. So while it's been some years since their last proper effort (the band dropped a killer seven inch last year [that I covered right here] which gave hint to what was to come), they seemed to have skipped a couple of albums worth of "feeling it out" to go straight to polished guitar pop brilliance. "Glue Girls" caught me off guard at first, because it was so different but I soon realized these seeds had been planted long ago.

I can't stop listening to the song and will be looking forward to April 8th, when "Pershing" drops on Polyvinyl.

MP3: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Not Worth Fighting


First and foremost, bravo to Polyvinyl. This 7 inch is on beautiful clear green vinyl and comes with a code to download the songs. I've seen this with 12 inches but 7? Amazing.

The other bravo is thrown to Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, for writing such fantastic pop rock songs. This is their first new material in 2 years (the other being their fantastically catchy "Broom" lp) and these 2 songs show nothing but further promise for such a promising band (seriously, how have they not exploded?!).

"Not Worth Fighting", the lovely A side, is powered mostly by clever guitar play and seems to be gone before it ever fully came. But those are the best songs, the ones with the great parts that go so fast they require multiple listens. This is one of those songs. Seek this one out asap.
