Sounds Like: "Congratulations to Little Yellow Perfect, which was
invited to play the main stages at the Folsom Street
Fair today and the Castro Street Fair on Oct. 7. It's
not surprising: The band's latest album, "Simple
Devices," is that good.
" --Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle
"Equal parts incredibly infectious dance-rock and
stadium-ready hooks, LYP's debut album is as strong a
statement lyrically as it is musically, railing
against consumer culture. At times things are
deliberately reminiscent of classic 80s sounds by
bands like The Fixx or Duran Duran, but the
personalities of the four members always shines
through. The song writing is darkly luminous, while
Cris Logan's voice is filled with longing and
almost-desperation." --Rasputin Recommends
"Singer Chris Logan provides much of the sound structure by way of his slightly strained vocals with hints of both Bono and Liam Gallagher, but a little of something new as well." --Adam Greenberg, Billboard.com (AMG), April 2007
"It's hard to keep your feet from tapping during 'Television' -- the use of the guitar, though seemingly scratchy, helps carry the song to the very last beat, making it easy to envision hearing it on heavy rotation at the hipster clubs very soon." -- Allison Bloch, West Coast Performer, March 2007
"The most pleasing surprise of all comes in the album's exceptional closer, 'Twilight ... and What's to Come' which rocks like a lost gem of the early '90's, completing the satisfying crescendo that is Simple Devices." -- Gabrielle Goodbar, the Owl Mag, Feb 2007
"Their polished pop-rock -- with tasteful punk and hard rock influences -- is tight and radio-ready.... Both 'Satellites' and 'Used as Directed,' or perhaps something from their upcoming full-length, could conceivably become a modern rock radio hit across the country. Don't be surprised to see a major label snatch up these guys up soon from the tiny Ruler Records." -- Nate Seltenrich, Zero Magazine, April 2006
"Bay Area dance-rock band Little Yellow Perfect employs the same heady mix of grit and glitter as the Killers and Queens of the Stone Age to get indie types going." --Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle
