As we mentioned in May, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin completed their third album, Let It Sway, for an August release. You heard first taste “Sink / Let It Sway.” “Banned (By The Man)” is another new track that’s just as exuberant, but its chorus harmonies are less graceful, and more of a singalong (reminds me of Fountains Of Wayne). It’s probably the most precious pop song ever to be called “Banned (By The Man).”

Let It Sway is out 8/17 via Polyvinyl. You can pre-order it now. They have a mini-documentary about the making of the album, in which you learn that the band recently celebrated their 10-year anniversary, and that member Will Knauer had mono during the entire recording.

  1. ugh. “Fountains of Wayne” is right.
    i didn’t like the other new song either and someone argued that it would’ve fit perfectly well on Broom… is that someone going to still argue that for this one??

  2. I wouldn’t say that it fits on Broom, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m extremely excited for this album.

  3. Nice to see Jonathan in a promo pic for once.
