ROSS’ TOP 40 ALBUMS OF 2011
#5
YELLOWBIRDS The Color
Song-by-Song Rating: 7.47 (4th)
Last.fm Plays: 232 (4th)
Featured Song: “Beneath the Reach of Light”
Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if Roy Orbison recorded a psychedelic pop album? Wonder no more!
Yellowbirds is the side project of Apollo Sunshine frontman Sam Cohen. This debut release features gorgeous melodies, swirling guitars, retro keyboards and even a little bit of theremin.
Standout Tracks: “The Rest of My Life”, “Rings in the Trees”, “Beneath the Reach of Light”, “The Honest Ocean” and “Our Good Days Are Gone”
Yeah! Yellowbirds’ debut album The Color has been near the top of my best albums list all year. The band has been very far under-the-radar (only 1,600 Last.fm listeners?!?), but hopefully this session will help their cause.
