Another mad week
With fabulous Yearlings reviews
And it was another memorable week for The Yearlings. Last Sunday, we played in Beringe—our only show in Limburg. We had an amazing time, and so did the reviewer from VPRO 3voor12 who was there. He was full of praise, writing: "They have long surpassed the status of the best-kept secret in the Netherlands." That kind of praise makes us blush, just like the rest of his great review.
8/10 from renowned British site Americana UK
This week, our first British review just came in—8/10 from the renowned Americana UK! 'Superb Dutch indie-rock brimming with chiming, jangling guitars and great songs.' 🙋♂️ Here’s an excerpt: 'After All the Party Years features ten fine songs, and the playing and production are faultless throughout. It’s hard to pick out specific tracks when they’re all so strong, but album closer Torn Bags of Asian Takeout captures the album’s strengths: excellent vocals, beautiful guitar solos, outstanding organ work, and a fabulous slide guitar soaring into wailing feedback just before it all fades out.'
Remaining spring shows
Here’s the list of remaining Yearlings shows this spring:
APR 10: The Yearlings as a duo (w/ Dean Wareham plays Galaxie 500), dB's, Utrecht
