1 part jazz/rock/classical stick skills (Ryan Jarvis)
1 part gorgeous, melodic guitar (Carlos Garcia)
1 part textured, groundshaking/breaking bass (Monica Demarco)

"Isn't Pretty" is the bang-up third release in seven (or so) years. Its predecessors "What Grenade ?1?" (2003) and "Pink Insides" (2005) show a clear progression of songwriting and skill growth. Ya Ya Boom climbed the candy mountain, and the peak is in sight. It's latest effort, recorded and mixed at guitarist Carlos Garcia's studio, is a sugary effort with a hints of sour.
In less metaphoric terms, we're talking intricate vocal harmonies, bass lines that are oh so much more, complex rhythms, hook-laden guitars and exploding choruses.
Ya Ya Boom has never been the same band twice. The group never wrote the same song twice, and every year brings new experiments adorned with biting hooks and lavish effects. Bolder, more confident, after some micro-tours and plenty of time in Albuquerque's scene, Ya Ya Boom crackles and pops, twists and spins, and bites at you with sweet sweet teeth.
