Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin- Broom (2005)


Though their name is a bit extreme and even over the top, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin present simple indie-pop pleasures on their debut album "Broom." Full of subtle emphasis on what makes good song writing, these men, and they aren't boys anymore seeing how they are almost out of their early 20s, really have a great and confident sound. The real catch with this band, besides the fantastic instrumentation, are the lyrics. The first track on the album, entitled "Pangea," is brilliant. "Pangea, we used to be together, why'd we have to drift apart?" Songs like "House Fire," present a bit darker side of separation. "We did what we could to save this car from crashing. You're pretty face is soaked in blood, but you know I still find you dashing." Really quite lovely stuff. Their new album is due out soon, (so I've heard,) and if anything it will be a brilliant extension to this fantastic debut.
