After ten years since forming and five LPs in, Yukon Blonde have been characterized in a lot of different ways. They emerged as a guitar-heavy rock band with their debut self-titled LP in 2010 and by the release of On Blonde in 2015, Yukon Blonde were experimenting with slick, '80s inspired pop elements like those heard on the album's driving hit single "Saturday Night." More recently, on 2018's Critical Hit, the Vancouver-based five piece band turned their attention to mood making, largely ditching their guitars in favour of synths and drum machines to build danceable, multi-dimensional soundscapes.
With their fifth release, Vindicator, Yukon Blonde rewrite their story again. Jeffrey Innes (vocals/guitar/keys), Brandon Scott (vocals/guitar), Graham Jones (vocals/drums), James Younger (vocals/bass/keys), and Rebecca Gray (vocals/keys) douse keyboard melodies and relaxed grooves with psychedelic hues that are both playful and expansive.
From the opening track, Vindicator will immediately put you under a joyful spell and then never let you go. "We're more mature and comfortable with ourselves now and we know that we can try something new even at this stage in our career," explains Younger. "We completely deconstructed the narrative of the band and made the music that felt good at the moment."
