Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

Pershing [Rock / Alternative]

RELEASE: 09.05.2008

LABEL: Polyvinyl Record Co.

VERTRIEB: Cargo Records GmbH

Pershing, the sophomore release from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, is the next logical step in SSLYBY’s young career. Since the band’s critically acclaimed debut, Broom, they have shared the stage with the likes of Mute Math, of Montreal, Sound Team, Catfish Haven and Chin Up Chin Up, to name a few. They toured libraries with cult band Harry and the Potters. They headlined a European tour and even made their way to their namesake’s homeland of Russia!

Now, they are raising the bar even higher with Pershing. It has all of the attributes that made Broom so endearing; however, while Broom posed SSLYBY as a promising young act on the rise about to find its way, Pershing seems to act as its mission statement. On Pershing, SSLYBY works out its adventure streak by way of quirky chord changes amid massive hooks and addictive melodies. The new model is not only an improvement on the original, but seemingly posits itself as the shape of things to come. The future definitely looks bright for our boys in SSLYBY. Tracks "Think I Wanna Die," "Glue Girls," "Modern Mystery," "Boring Fountain," and "Dead Right" are sure to be favorites.
