Yukon "Furnaces" CD (self released/2005)

Here is a release that I am posting not only because I enjoy it a lot but because I want to know more about this band and I am hoping that someone out there in the blogosphere or indie pop world can be of assistance. I have searched online and can't find any of information what so ever. What I know is that I saw this band play in a garage in Northport in the summer of 2005 with Jason Anderson, Wildebeest, Fellow Project and some others. They were really good but awkwardly referred to themselves as a different name in between every song and said they were changing their name. Not sure why, Yukon is a awesome name for a indie pop band. Regardless, I picked up a copy of the cd and intended to get some for the distro later on but for whatever reason that didn't happen. It certainly wasn't the first time I got someone's contact info at a show and later lost the little piece of paper.

In any event Yukon's Furnaces is a outstanding collection of indie pop songs that I find myself spinning on repeat when ever I put this cd on. Musically I am reminded of stuff like Jason Anderson and Thanksgiving but also the way the vocal melodies flow I am actually reminded a lot of indie pop song smith genius Franklin Bruno. In fact the resemblance to Franklin Bruno is almost uncanny. Most of the songs are built around acoustic guitars and various instrument accompaniment with vocals playing a large part, however the funny thing when I saw them play they were very much an electric indie rock band. It is interesting to me how they were able to translate their material to a live forum. But considering I hadn't heard the cd until after I saw them perhaps they didn't perform anything from Furnaces. Regardless, they were awesome live and Furnaces is an awesome cd and I am eager to know more about this band and any further output.
