Source of Yellow, Source of Yellow (side A)

Source of Yellow are old close friends, especially Peter whom I play music with, so I'm obviously biased here.  Their 2010 self-titled LP is cool and interesting, and reflects aspects of the band that their live shows have de-emphasized.  Sounds are often processed to be compressed and small.  The album's sonic primitivism is rooted more in 80s industrial and cassette cultures than in any 90s sense of lo-fi.  The band's musicianship and drive are backgrounded to the crazy effects that provide energy and impact in their place.  Source of Yellow looks great, with an abstract letter-pressed design on super-thick paper.
