Yuck – “Southern Skies” Video & Southern Skies Stream
Yuck’s surprise Southern Skies EP already yielded the drifting “Athena” and the driving “Another One,” both of which continued the band’s mastery of shoegaze-inflected ’90s alt-rock sounds. The EP was released this week, and its other two songs sound unlike any previous Yuck material. “Set In Motion” is a twangy Laurel Canyon psych-pop song that reminds me of Sparklehorse or a mellowed-out cousin to the Shins’ “Gone For Good.” The gorgeous title track presents yet another new sound for Yuck; it’s a spare, shimmering sigh of a song, and it just got a beautifully minimalistic video to match from director Jacob Perlmutter. Watch below, where you can also find the full EP stream.
