Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin
Hot off the Tucsonscene Stage in SXSW, Polyvinyl artist Some Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin are coming for a little bit of a homecoming. They might not be from Tucson, but they sure played with just about 30% of the bands from Tucson. By the end of the show they’ll be cracking jokes about the Rio Nuevo Project, be stuck on campbell and grant for 15 minutes and bitch about how W. Virginia stole that game from the Wildcats.
ALL AGES!
With that Abbadon-style injection into the band’s indie pop-perfect Elliott Smith and Beatles bedsit sound, we figured “Half-Awake (Deb)” to be a sure sign of slightly mathier things to come - Stereogum review of Glue Girls
Check out the Video for the song Pangea( thats the super mutli continental plate continent that was spurred from the plate tectonic theory)
Port O’ Brien will Be supporting these post soviet harbingers of Democracy name droppers. Here some hot press factiods that are largely reported through the western media:
On his recent Pitchfork Media Guest List, M. Ward recently named Port O’Brien his favorite new band, and “I Woke Up Today” as one of his favorite songs of the past year. Click here to view the article.
**** (4 STARS) - Track review of “I Woke Up Today”
Pitchfork Media
7.5/10 “The Wind and the Swell”
Pitchfork Media
“There’s a reason M. Ward called Port O’Brien his new favorite band—on this record the “freak-folk” is stripped down and left naked to showcase a unique group who aren’t concerned with anything but songs. And what songs they are!”
CMJ Review
“Think of the way a really good late-party singalong sounds in your drunken, echoing head: a little sleepy, loosey-goosey with the timing, but ecstatic, brilliant, meaningful, epic. Even sober and by the cruel light of day, that’s the sound of Port O’Brien.”
SF Weekly
“Port O’Brien whip up a hazy, beautiful narcosis on The Wind and the Swell.” “…a rich and original collection of catchy and brainy folk-pop.”
