New Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - "Half-Awake (Deb)"

Great new cut from the pride of Springfield, Missouri. A funny thing happened to SSLYBoris Yeltsin on the way to a proper recording studio; along with the expected fidelity boost to the tracks, they've somehow begun to resemble a Rob Crow side project. It's a tad math-ier than the stuff on their excellent, bedroom debut Broom, sure, but the Crow shows more in their melodies. Maybe they've discovered Pinback? Either way, awesome direction for 'em.

Hmmm.. I like this song, but it doesn't really measure up to anything on Broom for me. It's good though, and I still have very high hopes that their next record will be completely excellent.

We actually drank with the band down at SXSW, and they were really amazing. Sadly, only a few people have watched the interview: http://www.genartpulse.com/archives/2007/03/midwestern_rock.php
