Stream Yankee Bluff’s new Slovenian Daisy EP, watch video for “Simple Pleasures”

Did you catch wind of Yankee Bluff last summer when they dropped a debut EP called I? If not, take a minute to check it out here. If so, you’re ready to move on to EP #2 Slovenian Daisy, out this week on Bandcamp. The lofi duo of Peter Helmis (Algernon Cadwallader) and Nate Dionne (Snowing) teamed up around the time their other joint effort Dogs On Acid (with Joe Reinhart of Algernon and Hop Along) called it quits, producing wonderfully jangly, homespun rock songs that are as fun to listen to on your headphones as they are live.

Along with Slovenian Daisy, Yankee Bluff also premiered a video for EP cut “Simple Pleasures,” created by their keyboardist/visual artist Craig Scheihing. Grainy, colorful double exposure footage of a lushly green canal path leads into a chaotic walking tour of a tourist-packed European city in the summer, a welcome distraction from the gray days we have right now.

Tickets and information for their show at Boot & Saddle with Shannen Moser and Cool Points on February 8th can be found here. Watch “Simple Pleasures” below and download Slovenian Daisy on Bandcamp.
