LIZZIE AND THE YES MEN ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE
LIZZIE AND THE YES MEN ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE ‘DESERTS’ IS RELEASED ON 10th DECEMBER 2012.
Following the release of their debut single “The Broadwalk” (which has grabbed the attention of Dazed Digital, Frank Skinner, Channel 4, Nemone and Chris Hawkins to name a few), London quartet Lizzie and The Yes Men have announced the release of new single ‘Deserts’.
Describing themselves as ‘Tarantino surf-pop,’ Lizzie and The Yes Men combine their love for the cinematic sounds of Tarantino with surf, pop and desert rock, drawing inspiration from bands such as Best Coast, The Ronettes ,The Beach Boys, Love and the Dum Dum Girls.
Desert’s video was directed by photographer Laurence Von Thomas, who has previously worked with the likes of Patti Smith and Mark Ronson, Shot in a crumbling Victorian industrial warehouse, Lizzie plays three different characters in a Lynch-inspired ‘tableau viviant’.
What one gets is a strangely morish mix of the surf rock complete with catchy swing and harmonies a la The Beach Boys in a headlong collision with the angular pomp of ESG and Gang Of Four” Dazed Digital
“Their riffs and twangs have a darker and edgy feel to them. We can imagine if Tarantino ever heard Lizzie and the Yes Men, he’d get them on his next film soundtrack sharpish” Breaking More Waves
“The debut single from Lizzie and the Yes Men is a fabulously upbeat summer tune that channels Debbie Harry, The Ramones and even the whistling genius of Roger Whittaker. It manages to stay on the right side of ‘jaunty’ with its Spectoresque melodies.” Music Week
