Everything Seems Like Yesterday (CD)
The Frights
Amoeba Review
Surf punk outfit The Frights try something new for their fourth studio album, Everything Seems Like Yesterday. Written and performed by vocalist and guitarist Mikey Carnevale with production by bassist Richard Dotson, the album was recorded in one week at Carnevale’s grandmother’s cabin in Idyllwild, California. The record features a wide array of ambient sounds and the use of real-life objects found around the cabin as instruments, such as glasses with water in them, leaves, pots and pans, a ringing phone, and more. The effect is highly intimate, making for the band’s most emotionally direct body of work to date.
