Young Fresh Fellows – I Think This Is (CD)
Product Details
Scott McCaughey spent much of the 2000s moonlighting in R.E.M. as a touring member and fronting the Minus 5, but the Fellows were always the mothership. Hearing him reunite this particular lineup, with Kurt Bloch's guitar still running on the same barely-contained frequency it always has, is a reminder of how much Pacific Northwest rock history runs through these four guys before anyone ever got around to calling it anything.
O.G. Seattle rockers and the reverends of the irreverent The Young Fresh Fellows are back with I THINK THIS IS, their first full album since 2001, and 25 years since the release of their ground-breaking first LP, FABULOUS SOUNDS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. Before grunge and way before indie was so indie, Fellows Scott McCaughey, Kurt Bloch, Tad Hutchison and Jim Sangster were issuing their signature shotgun blasts of punk energy and wry lyricism. I THINK THIS IS is no exception. Produced by Robyn Hitchcock, the album is a compendium of punk, college rock and 60s pop. With I THINK THIS IS, the YFF remind US that two guitars, bass and drums, plus a barrel of beer is still the perfect recipe for success. Or maybe failure. But that's cool.
