This isn’t really a new release, per se. It’s a collection of songs that were originally released on EPs and singles over the past few years, all of them strangely overlooked during the late-mid aughts despite the singer/guitarist’s Voxtrot pedigree. As far as I can discern, these songs have been unearthed because the band has decided it wants to make a more serious go of things, touring nationally with Woods last summer and signing with the panache booking agency according to myspace.
But you know, if Mission of Burma, Polvo, and all the rest have taught us anything, it’s that there ARE second acts in showbiz, and YellowFever (one word, apparently) fully deserve theirs, courtesy of this disc.
