Yeallow - The Trick (Try & Dye Records)

| Yeallow - The Trick |
Release Date: Out Now
When you see a band made up of
chaps called Fred, Ted, Bill and Ced you could be forgiven for expecting them
to be a bunch of toothless Yorkshiremen playing spoons and a tea chest.
Instead, this quartet hail from Strasbourg and cite influences like Zappa,
Muse, Radiohead and LCD Soundsystem. Intrigued? I know I am. This latest single
from Yeallow, 'The Trick', has a Zappa meets the Strokes riff to it initially
before breaking in to something between Metal Molly, Soulwax, Young Knives and
a French version of early Supergrass. The relentless, scuzzy guitars are
punctured only by a poppy bass line and the kind of middle eight that you might
expect from Dutch Uncles. Yeallow are the musical equivalent of a Lord who has
run out of money - classy at the core but rough around the edges.
