Lindsay's Listens: The Yes Pleases


Is it possible to come from Seattle and not have a song that sounds like garage rock? I don't know the answer, but The Yes Pleases seem to fit the bill with "Weekend of Winning," a lo-fi rock jam off its upcoming album, From Whence It Came.

Don't let the band fool you with its first track, "Designer," which sounds like a TV on the Radio/The Ting Tings collaboration. The song is catchy, with electronic undertones and major hipster appeal.

The Yes Pleases tone it down a little with the title track, a dreamy ballad that disguises its Seattle roots with major Brit pop influence.

From Whence It Came is set to be released on August 25 and can be ordered through The Yes Pleases' MySpace.
