Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin
Label: PolyvinylGenre: Pop
Hey, I'm only a week late on the new Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Their last record was my favorite-album-that-took-me-a-year-to-listen-to. The CD kept getting shuffled to the bottom of my 'listen to' stack. Their name haunted me. I just couldn't let go of a band called SSLYBY. To this day I still throw up a little in my mouth when I think of how much joy I missed by not having SSLYBY in my life sooner. From what I've heard, album number two from the Show Me State's favorite indie sons, keeps the charming pop meter cranked up to eleven. Nothing groundbreaking except to say that their sophomore album is anything but sophomoric. New album and new tour NOW.

Their name will fill your mouth with clumsy words, their music will fill your head with sweet melodies. Less dour than Bright Eyes, less polished than The Shins, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin were shooting for the "Locals Only" bin at their hometown music store in Springfield, Missouri when they recorded Broom, but missed their mark, hitting the stars instead. They're already minor stars among those MP3 blog thingies...maybe I should read those more often. My day would've been brightened earlier by these young fellows. This record earns them an honorary seat at the Elephant 6 table and will likely lead their generation's pack of pop purveyors.
