Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin+ The Lonely Forest+ The Very Most
The band signed to Polyvinyl in the summer of 2006 (in a Congress Hotel room in Tuscon, Arizona) and re-released Broom later that fall. SSLYBY's second LP, Pershing, which was released in April 2008. Both records were self-recorded in members' and relatives' houses and were supported by over 250 national and international shows. SSLYBY performed in Moscow, Russia two months after Boris Yeltsin's death.
In August 2010, SSLYBY will release their third full-length: Let It Sway. The album was recorded at Madison's famed Smart Studios (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Rainer Maria) by Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla and resident producer Beau Sorenson (DCFC's Plans, Sparklehorse).
W/ Seattle band The Lonely Forest:
The Lonely Forest possesses a remarkably sophisticated songwriting acumen and a knack for delivering interesting, winning melodies mainly via piano, bass, and drums. In their lusher moments, the band—led by John Van Deusen and his passionate vocals—combines the pop majesty of the Long Winters with the quirkiness of XTC, but when Van Deusen busts out his guitar, the thrust becomes punkish. They're absolutely poised to be one of Seattle's next breakout acts.
- Seattle Weekly
We Sing in Time is where the stars align for The Lonely Forest. The band rides a catchy chorus to epic heights, all while hitting a sincere, emotional note. By the end of the song, it becomes clear that the song's refrain of 'in time the trees die and lights will fade' isn't about the seasons. 'Let's send boys overseas/To fight ghosts in the deserts/Instead of teaching them to give and lead' the band cries in the chilling closing verse, lending an anguished charge to the already compelling track and a highlight to a thoroughly compelling album.
