“Real-time intensity can be tricky to package, but the band’s new Time Castle Tapes release,Taste, has the pacing and magnetism of an ideal live set. The release’s two heaviest numbers, “Life in Space” and “Electricity”, wisely bookend a collection of tracks that have a brevity not often seen in psychier, stonier climes. The whole thing is a little like Wand without the nerdiness, but songs like “Shooting”, which owes some strange debt to “Slang King” by the Fall, are idiosyncratic enough to defy easy genre designations…”
– MARIA SCHURR, Pop Matters
“The result is a bunch of tracks Brendan said were “smushed together on one tape.” Prior to this tape, the Yin Yangs only released material they’d recorded on their own. “It’s all pretty lo-fi,” he said. “This is much more sophisticated in terms of production value and I think more developed songwriting happened on these. We’re just more established with each other and as a band at this point.”
Despite the thrashier vibes, the Yangs have maintained their trademark hint of wackiness, which is most obvious in their vocals. There’s an effervescent, yet quavering quality to them, one that I’ve only heard echoed by the New England Patriots (lol not the sports team, you dog). Together with hardened, fast but sludgy guitars the Yin Yangs convene as an unholy scuba summit plotting the destruction of an invading sea monster army.”
