Yellow Fever: The Culver City EP

Yellow Fever circa before Cole Huddlestein.

After a longer wait than my eager ears anticipated, Hugpatch Records, one of my favorite little labels out there, is finally releasing their third record. Better yet, it's a 7" single from Austin, TX's Yellow Fever! I've been absolutely smitten with the band since I ordered their self-titled EP off their myspace a couple months ago (that particular release seems to no longer be avaiable, but you can still order their Cats and Rats EP, which, too, is excellent). The new 7", entitled The Culver City EP, features some of the best stuff that Jennifer Moore, Adam Jones, and Isabel Martin have ever put to tape. Sadly, Isabel has since moved to New York, with Cole Huddlestein now taking over the bass playing duties. You may have seen him at the Athens Popfest!

Aaaaaaaaanyway, The A-side "Joe Brown", is my new favorite Yellow Fever song ever, for sure. I really love the theatrical gasps in the intro, and the melody is irresistible, but it's the bridge that really makes the song -- who doesn't love well executed overlapping vocals? Exactly. Check it out. By the way, B-side "Culver City" is pretty damn awesome, too. Just not quite as awesome.

The record will be limited to 500 copies only, so keep an eye on the Hugpatch website so you don't miss out once it's up for purchase! While your there, copies of the Besties and Nosotrash 7"s are still available. I'd highly recommend both of them.
