Projekt A-Ko - Yoyodyne (Milk Pie Records / Filthy Little Angels)
March 15, 2009 – 10:13 pm
Projekt A-Ko are a three piece band from Scotland. They are also three former members of Urusei Yatsura who released some cracking records in the mid to late 1990s. Projekt A-Ko released a spilt single last year with indiepop fuzzy favourites Horowitz (both songs are included here, possibly re-recorded). It’s was a nice taster of what was to come. And this is that. The LP is called ‘Yoyodyne’ and it is everything a noisy pop record should be. With nods to their former band along with Dinosaur Jr and the poppy end of Sonic Youth’s spectrum - this is a record that fizzes with punk attitude, that kicks you forcefully in the teeth with top notch pop tunes. And it’s suitably discordant.
The thirteen songs that make up this record are enough to lift even the gloomiest spirits. This record found me in one of those gloomy moods and with each play - I’ve felt my faith in pop music returning. One of the best releases I have heard in sometime.
This record is due to be released on 20th April. It is available for pre-order now- check the website below.
