Yuck // Daughter


Doesn't that look a cosy place to be? Nestled in the moist warmth of Yuck's armpits and matted hair. Smells like contentment, feels like happiness.

Much the same effect applies when listening to their free-to-download new single Daughter, enveloping you as it does in furry guitar reverb, aiming as high as Postal Service and nigh on getting there. The ambition of Yuck is admirable, riding the wave of their former members' fleeting yet deserved notoriety with Cajun Dance Party to nail support slots with Japandroids most recently and Modest Mouse and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart most imminently. More shoe-gazing epics like Daughter, echoed by surging garage like early single Georgia, suggest much to come from the London-based foursome.

Their new EP Weakend is out on August 2nd. In the meantime, get your ears around Daughter from their blog, or listen to Weakend below.
