MICHAEL YONKERS BAND- Microminature Love
A mysterious new branch has grown from the trunk of the "early outsider primitive music" tree. Curious? Sub Pop describes Michael Yonkers' music in this way: "the cave-man primitivism of the Troggs, Trashmen or Godz + the over the top fuzz and feedback of 'I Heard Her Call My Name" by the Velvets + the visceral howls of the Seeds or Sonics + Michael's own home-made amps, pedals, and guitars + the twisted lyrics of Barrett or Erikson = a true psychedelic masterpiece." Indeed. In fact, Sub Pop likes Michael's music so much they put it out, saved from 1968-era obscurity. Could this be guilty feelings after releasing their fair share of 60s pop revivalist records? Who can tell-and who really cares? What we do know for sure is that this is pretty cool stuff. Thanks Sub Pop, keep up the good work.
