After three years of building songs up, then carving them back down to their essentials, My Dad vs Yours has broken the post-rock mould into sparkling gems. Their second full-length album, "Little Symphonies", is built around philosophies of pop music by balancing aesthetic and practical landscapes influenced by Phil Spector’s “wall of sound". And they've done it with style, using delicious layers of melody and samples that include analog synths, beat-boxing, local church bells (backed by road construction), family recordings and lush string arrangements. The album is more upbeat than its predecessor, with a pop-inspired intensity varnishing the band's careful instrumentation. This positive energy supports the album's overall message: that the small things matter, and that our everyday battles will ready us for whatever life throws our way.

As a young band with only a handful of singles and an EP, London rockers Yuck have already shown themselves to be impressively versatile. Although they tend toward the pedal squall favored by so many other indie rock bands these days, they’re not afraid to write a stark piano ballad or an acoustic lullaby: at times they seem to be channeling Elliot Smith as much as My Bloody Valentine. The band’s self-titled debut for Fat Possum should prove whether Yuck can capitalize on a year of good press and manage its many faces into a cohesive whole.  Realase Date: February 8, 2011.
