Yard Of Blondes Reflects 90’s Rock

January 20, 2020
Yard Of Blondes’ new single “You and I & I” from their debut album “Feed the moon”. It’s heavy, dark, edgy and reminiscent of the 90’s rock with its detuned guitars, haunting vocals and thumping rhythm section, Yard Of Blondes “You and I & I” is the new alternative rock from the land of grunge. Lyrically, “You and I & I” deals with mental health issues, painting a wild and schizophrenic journey from Santa Monica to the Sunset Strip. 

Upcoming album “Feed The Moon” is in the same vibe as “Murderology”, their previous EP. Well, Yard Of Blondes is a French/Californian rock band composed of Vincent Jacob (vocals/guitar), Fanny Hill (bass/vocals), Burak Yerebakan (guitar) and Forrest Mitchell (drums/ vocals). With their female bassist, their raw energy and influences we can’t help but being reminded of bands such as Sonic Youth, the Pixies and the Smashing Pumpkins. Yard Of Blondes released 3 EP’s since 2011, were featured along with Eric Burdon (The Animals) and Victoria Williams on the Hi-Desert compilation “Highway 62 Love Songs”, then were remarked by Rodney Bingenheimer, legendary KROQ DJ, who began playing their track Murderology in 2013. During the summer of 2019,Yard Of Blondes came back with a lighter and upbeat single called “Je veux danser tout l’été”, their first original bilingual song. 

The song came along with a remix by French superstar DJ and producer Joachim Garraud. Bassist Fanny and band leader Vincent created and edited all the artworks using collage technic and acrylics. Vincent created all the fonts with his own handwriting; you’ll get to see them illustrating the band’s lyrics video, artworks and website. Fanny and Vincent also directed most of the music videos from their debut album, including “You and I and I” 

Quotable Lyrics 
It’s such a beautiful day
With panic troubles and despair
Sun in my face, wind in my hair
July, it’s sunny out there
Your manic demon is awake
I’m happy to be where I am, awake
Such a lovely beautiful day
Spinning knives and bad blood in my head
And when the sun sets I have good faith
But I feel like this is the end
But I feel like this is the end
But I feel like this is the end
I love the sparkle in your eyes
Shinning like tools on the silver tray
Shinning like diamonds in the sky
The moon is finally out there
I’m here to feed you with your fears
I cannot sleep when you’re not here
Where d’you go?
Such a lovely beautiful day
Spinning knives and bad blood in my head
And when the sun sets I have good faith
But I feel like this is the end
But I feel like this is the end
But I feel like this is the end
And now you live my way
It’s such a better way
With panic troubles and despair
I’m doing what I want
And what I wanna do
My manic demon is awake
Hey you and I & I
We’re so lucky
Hey you and I & I
1 and 1 is 3
Hey you and I & I
We’re so lucky
Hey you and I & I
1 and 1 is 3
1 and 1 is 3
1 and 1 is 3
