Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

w/ Joe Firstman & Brian Wright

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. Now, they are raising the bar even higher with Pershing. It has all of the attributes that made Broomso 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 positions itself as the shape of things to come.
