This is the debut ep by South Carolina based duo The Yets who are Robin Wilson formerly in Bachelors Of Arts and Skirt with Craig Anderson Snook they are a fully DIY band, having recorded the ep at Craig's Royal Terns Records Studio.
The Ep opens with Waterline a medium paced song of pain and the difficulty of keeping afloat, as all around you turns sour, your inundated with troubles, as Robins deep sonorous vocals appear to feel every word she's singing. Musically this has a late 80's early 90's feel, somewhere between Jill Sobule and Sinead O'Connor.
Remember has a soft rock feel like a Heart ballad, as Robin asks if you Remember all these things that have happened between you, to bring you to this point.
Lesser Evil opens like it's about to become a banging techno dancefloor sensation, only of course when you expect the thumping techno to come in, it's gauzy goth with Robin's slow deliberate vocals sounding like Creatures era Siouxsie Sioux, as she tries to have fun with someone, she probably shouldn't be having fun with, as she implores them to give in to their desires, as the guitars swirl around her.
Letter To A Boy is like a female fronted Prefab Sprout song taking a dark All About Eve turn, as Robin pours out her heart to that one special boy, always her anchor, no matter what else she does or with whom. This like much of this ep has some rather 80's sounding production, but without the 80's drum sound being too prominent.
Fades To Gray a fond farewell for all the things she's lost, as everything falls apart and returns to the earth, over slow elegiac goth soft rock getting dangerously close to sounding a bit like Enya.
Happy Now is love gone wrong pains of betrayal, seductively sung, as the bands breaking apart, too much fighting not enough dancing, she needs it to be over. Dark goth swirling guitar pirouettes through the speakers, as they've left the best song till last.
