After listening to RY's 7" and their most recent self-titled LP, I actually very much prefer the LP. It seems like they really hit the nail on the head here with the sound they were going for, especially with the track "Pity," which had me dancing around the broadcast studio every time I played it on my radio show. "Distant and Vague" slows down the pace with an updated soundtrack to a 1950's night at the drive in. I love that the accents come through when oftentimes more melodic music tends to have the funny quality of obliterating certain intonations. I also love that this record is 26 minutes, a veritable marathon compared to the rapid 6-minute 7" I posted earlier today. Enjoy.
