Album Review: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Pershing
7
A lovely little sophomore album via the Springfield Missouri indie band; Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (referring to the first elected president of Russia – I don’t know why) released a moderately critically acclaimed debut in Broom in 2005. Yet somehow, their second full length, Pershing, sounds like it was recorded in early ’93.
It has all of the best qualities of an underground indie band from a time when bands that sounded just like this made television theme songs and were playing the local club in ABC teen dramas (ah, the 90’s). With light rock guitars, simple production, soft vocals and high-school-break-up-letter lyrics, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is caught somewhere between flannel shirts and tight jeans, but I don’t mind it there.
