Yuck – “Coconut Bible”
Yuck B-Side, Fat Possum, 2011
I still haven’t gotten over Daniel Blumberg’s departure from
Yuck. Listening to the B-Sides from the band’s sterling debut, it just makes
the letdown that was Glow & Behold
sting a little more. Still, the b-sides are satisfying enough to warrant the
feeling of salt in wound. “Coconut Bible” is the best of them, and captures the
crunchy, 90s alt rock throwback sound that made Yuck my favorite album of 2011. The guitars are equal parts
distortion and chiming and the melody is pure pop gold. Blumberg’s new project,
Hebronix, inspires the same bummer emotions as Glow & Behold and illustrates the alchemy of what could happen
when all of these people worked together. Here’s hoping for a surprise reunion
that will probably never ever happen!
