I saw on Facebook the day their album was released, and immediately I was really looking forward to checking it out! So, what was it like, you ask?
Personally, I really enjoyed it! In the style of music I love, how could I not like it?
So far, there are two singles from the album, which are 'Middle Sea' and 'Rebirth'. 'Middle Sea' is certainly one of the more up-tempo tracks, with bright riffs and an awesome tune. Following, conveniently, is 'Rebirth' (the free download on their site), which has a similar feel to 'Middle Sea', yet has a more artistic sound to it. Definitely two tracks that you must check out!
The second instrumental track, 'Twilight In Maple Shade', is second to last on the album. Sometimes these instrumental songs don't quite work right, but this, like the first, suits the mood perfectly. Artistic through music, what more could you want?
Admittedly, I thought it was going to end it, but no, I forgot about the title track, 'Glow & Behold'. This ends it perfectly on a light mood, and it's repetitive ending riff rounds off the style completely.
I have to say, as I was listening to the record, I couldn't come up with a favourite track. Every new song became my favourite, and now the CD is on my list of ones I must buy. It is a very uplifting piece of work (of course with a few contrasting sounds), and easily lovable!
It could be argued that, depending on the style you prefer, 'Glow & Behold' is an easier listen than their 2011 self-titled record. On the other hand, maybe their self-titled is more original? It's up to you what you prefer. All I will say is that, if you enjoy the indie/art rock scene, then Yuck are definitely worth a shot!
