Glow & Behold

Yuck continue onward sans original frontman Daniel Blumbererg with the release of a new album, Glow & Behold, due out October 1st via Fat Possum/Pharmacy. As previously reported, Blumberg left the band earlier this year to pursue his own solo project, with Bloom, Mariko Doi, and Jonny Rogoff carrying on as a trio.
The follow-up to 2011′s excellent self-titled debut features 11 new tracks, including last month’s “Rebirth” and “Middle Sea”, which premiered today on Huw Stephens’ BBC Radio 1 show.
Whereas “Rebirth” was more My Bloody Valentine than Dinosaur Jr., this latest single is a return to more rollicking pastures. Devotees of their self-titled LP will find more angst-ridden ’90s nostalgia in the track’s driving rhythm section, sweltering guitar melodies, and layers of warm fuzz. But new frontman Max Bloom’s vocals also bring something new to the lo-fi equation, with his uneven croon helping to facilitate new levels of youthful unease and discontent.
