RNDY-04: Yolks LP: $11 After two killer 7”s already under their belt and 3 or so years of turning every show they play at into a party, and every party into riot, The Yolks have finally released their long-awaited debut LP. In a time when rock music has lost its way, losing much of its original fire and soul, forgetting the importance of simplicity, sincerity, and—above all—having fun, The Yolks remind us how easy it has been all along. Their attack plan is simple: three musicians wielding three instruments, barely straying from those three magic chords, playing simple songs for simple people, all laid down over a beat that begs you to dance. 11 tracks of garage-pop-soul goodness. 800 pressed, 150 on blue vinyl. This record was co-released with the great Austrian label, Bachelor Records, so anyone in Europe should avoid the extra shipping costs and get this record here.
For all of you Americans (and Canadians and possibly Japanese people) you should buy this record at:
