Saw these guys open for Yuck back in April at the Bowery Ballroom, prompting me to search for a download as soon as I got home. The strongest track they played I recognized immediately, "Decide" has a Grizzly Bear feel, complete with reverb guitar and falsetto harmonies. The album as a whole is a bit uneven but there weren't many tracks I played more than this one in 2011.

Best of 2011: Yuck - "Shook Down"
Yuck dances around all your favorite 90's indie rock melodies while avoiding outright plagiarism. Sure, it's not the most original of material but they embrace the sound so wholeheartedly you can't help but be affected. They sway between soft ballads and noisy guitar distortion, both of which they do so well. It's so hard for me to pick a favorite but I'm going to go with "Shook Down", the song with their strongest melodies and harmonies.
The official video is too strange for the song, but check it out here if you want (NSFW penis/titty/vagina shots).
