Yes To All – Yes To All (Digital EP – Yes To All)

Genre/Influences: Cold-wave.

Background/Info: Yes To All is a duo from The Netherlands. I didn’t find that much info about them, but it all seems like this EP is their debut work featuring 5 songs.

Content: The influences are clearly getting us back to the 80s. There’s a mix between electronics and guitar, which sometimes creates a rather melancholic sound. This melancholia now and then reminds me of The Cure.

+ + + : Yes To All doesn’t really innovate, but they’re perfectly emulating the 80s spirit and that always has something magic. The deep bass lines are totally fitting with the dark atmosphere supporting this work. Among the 5 cuts I especially recommend the well-crafted “Lowdown”.

– – – : I’m missing some passion in the vocals. I can’t say there’re potential hits among the tracklist, but it’s an easy listening experience.

Conclusion: This EP all sounds like a debut, but I think there’s something in this band and that’s for sure because of the retro-electro touch.

Best songs: “Lowdown”, “Leading Nation”.

Rate: (6).
