Bands who write would-be pop songs, but with that lo-fi aesthetic that sound like they recorded the whole thing on a dictaphone have always made me swoon, and Yoofs (facebook/twitter) are just such a band. Their carefree songs are full of the exuberance of youth and the lo-fi underproduction will make you nostalgic for a time before people bothered with such things as a recording studio.
The Bournemouth-based band were previously known as AC Slater after everyone’s favourite muscles in Saved By The Bell, but after the DJ with that name kicked up a fuss, they changed it to something more fitting – something that reflects those floating hazy days of yoof.
Fucking love this! Great find.
