Yes In My Backyard: Download Ribbons' "Total Loss"
Yes In My Backyard is a semiweekly column showcasing MP3s from new and emerging local talent.
Brooklyn's Ribbons have the stripped-down fever-shivers and uneasy fidget of classic post-punk--think Joy Division, Orange Juice, Durutti Column, etc. But these two Cali transplants can also play the shit out of their instruments. Vocalist/guitarist Jenny Logan wages a tenuous war between textural, reverby strumwaves and ferocious fretting; drummer Sam Roudman supplies skeletal grooves that occasional burst into frenetic fireworks; Logan's shivery vibrato skates on top. New track "Total Loss" balances a tender, woozy piece of Kate Bushian melancholy with Roudman's percolating drums, creating a tension that is at once dreamy and confrontational. Check out "Total Loss" and a handful of other new Ribbons tracks at their recent Dayrotter session.
