When every other band sounded like Gang Of │▒ ▓│ Four and came from Brooklyn? Youvves certainly do. │▒ ▓│ Cardio-Vascular is their first release under their new │▒ ▓│ moniker (they used to be called Mirror! Mirror!). If this │▒ ▓│ were released six years ago, they'd no doubt be accused of │▒ ▓│ jumping on the post-punk bandwagon. There's so much hiss │▒ ▓│ from the hi-hat throughout Cardio-Vascular that it sounds │▒ ▓│ like they left a snake in the control room. The constant │▒ ▓│ dum-tish-dum-tish of the drums really begins to annoy about │▒ ▓│ halfway through this album, as does the cowbell. I imagine │▒ ▓│ that when they play live, they hand their cowbell to a girl │▒ ▓│ in the audience and ask her to play along. They sound like │▒ ▓│ that kind of band. They probably talk a lot about how they │▒ ▓│ want to get people dancing and are really interested in │▒ ▓│ grooves, rather than hooks. It's an admirable effort, but │▒ ▓│ it does bring to mind that old heckle "don't bore us, get │▒ ▓│ to the chorus". │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ Most, if it not all, of Cardio-Vascular has been done │▒ ▓│ before. Though I doubt there's a new idea on this record, │▒ ▓│ it's not all bad. To their credit, Youves hit upon some │▒ ▓│ respectable discordant guitar riffs, which owe a lot to │▒ ▓│ Chinese Stars. The whole record seems to act better as a │▒ ▓│ flyer for their live show, points towards the fact that │▒ ▓│ they're probably a whole lot better when they're playing │▒ ▓│ right in front of you. On record, everything merges into │▒ ▓│ everything else, creating a twenty-minute dirge of yelpy │▒ ▓│ vocals, spiky guitars and disco drumming. Think of any │▒ ▓│ punk-funk band from the beginning of the decade - The │▒ ▓│ Rapture, Radio 4, Thunderbirds Are Now, the first Liars │▒ ▓│ record, anyone, it doesn't really matter. Youves are by no │▒ ▓│ means better than any of these, but they're no worse. If │▒ ▓│ they play near you, go and see them. Just don't forget your │▒ ▓│ cowbell. │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ Album was purchased from here: │▒ ▓│ http://www.play.com/Music/MP3-Download-Album/4-/9786894/Car │▒ ▓│ dio-Vascular/Product.html │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ │▒ ╔╝╦═─────────────────═══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────═╦╚╗ ╚╬╝ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╨ ╚╬╝ ╔═──────────────────────────────═══════════════──────────────────────────────═╗ ║ Group Notes ║ ╚═──────────────────────────────═══════════════──────────────────────────────═╝ ╔═─═════════─═╗ ╔─╦──╦───╦────╦═───═╦═───═╦────╦───╦──╦─╗ ╔═─═════════─═╗ ╚╬ ╚═─═════─═╝═╩══╩═══╩════╩═════╩═════╩════╩═══╩══╩═╚═─═════─═╝ ╬╝ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ We're looking for 100mbit+ affils who want MP3/MV/MDVDR. │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ We're also looking for like-minded chilled out rippers interested │▒ ▓│ in ripping (obviously). │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ We're a group dedicated to Rock/ProgRock/Alt and │▒ ▓│ other enjoyable music/releases │▒ ▓│ │▒ ▓│ Think you (or we) can contribute?
