Just a month ago, we were introduced to the endlessly infectious summer summoning vibes of Katonah, NY duo Yellerkin‘s “Solar Laws”. So infectious in fact that since first hitting play, I’ve had a very hard time listening to anything else. Nearly at 6,000 plays on Soundcloud I can attest that a large portion of those are most likely from me.
Instantly charmed, when the duo promised more, I was elated that Yellerkin would continue their total domination of my ear drums. It may have taken a month but Yellerkin’s new track “Vines” is here. For those expecting “Solar Laws” Pt. 2,”Vines” is nothing of the sort; trading in its buoyant elation for simmering balladry yet not completely without a bit of a forward push. It’s not until a breakdown right before the end that “Vines” picks up. Until then “Vines” is content to revel in its vocal-showcasing slow jam potential.
Yellerkin are currently at work on a EP and if “Solar Laws” and “Vines” are anything to go off of, it’s going to be downright majestic. Here’s hoping it’s coming soon.
