“using his gorgeous guitar chords and soothing voice to sing about his neuroses and violent impulses, the Chicago native is the id of the singer-songwriter world, a status cemented by his 2009 album 281 and its songs with colorful titles like “Drunk Piss” and “No Messin’ With My Rectum If You Like My Erection.” Despite the subject matter, Yoria’s instrumentation and voice is rather poppy and catchy.
Now, Yoria is back with his highly entertaining stream-of-consciousness musings. Thank You is one of two EPs he released this week (get the other here). It contains two songs, neither of which pulls punches with the titles “I’m Gonna Take a Swing at Your Head With an Aluminum Bat” and “In Case the Words are Shitty (Jeffrey Lewis).” Aside from the abrasive synthesizer intro, both songs are rather delicate and, well, pretty. That is, if you can get past grotesque lyrics.”
