We couldn’t be called Modern Mystery Blog without keeping you up to date with all news from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, especially when there is so much they’ve just announced:

1. Their first album Broom was reissued on white vinyl for Record Store Day! I know that was a little bit ago now, and there were only 500 copies made but you may still have a chance of snatching a copy if you check with your local record store!

2. Their video for “Sink/Let It Sway” was only just released and the band has already said they were working on another video! They haven’t said which song it will accompany but they have said that “It might have more stunts” than their latest release…

Watch “Sink/Let It Sway” below to get an idea of what to prepare for:

3. Maybe the most important news item for the die-hard fans: their rarities album should be out in August!

Young Prisms Premiere New Video

Most quotes praising Young Prisms include the words “Psychedelic,” “no-fi” (or “lo-fi,”), refer to the washed-out guitars and mention the band’s sunny Californian origins. All these words come together in the band’s latest video for their song off Friends For Now on Kanine Records, “Breathless,” which premiered this week on Altered Zones. Initially shot by Andrew Creighton, the first draft of the video was brought to Denver to director Trevor Peterson, of Woodsman, who shot added more visuals. Watching this video feels like on long look into a big rocking kaleidoscope.

Experience it for yourself. Watch the video for “Breathless” below:

And if watching that video made you want to experience this dizzying experience live, you can! They’ve been touring the US and will be on the road until the end of April with the Fresh & Onlys and Crocodiles on a few dates.
