I had the good fortune of seeing these guys open for Gobble Gobble at Tubby Dog over Sled Island this year. It was basically a bunch of hipsters doing this awkward (but fun) backward/forward rooster style lean dance to this LOUD pop music being made by this wall of synths and drum machines while a ton of lights went off and hot dogs were thrown about. It was a total blast.
Yip Deceiver is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Davey Pierce, who may be better known for his work with of Montreal (though honestly, I dig this WAY more then of Montreal!) Now, its something of a collaborative project.
They play a really bouncy, fun take on 80's new wave and electronica, mixing synths and clever lyrics with indie melodies and a sheen of tasteful autotune ontop of the vocals. They really nail this nostalgic, teenage heartthrob sound with all of there gloss and glam. Normally, that kind of thing sickens me but its played so earnestly and goofily by these guys, I can't help but move move shake shake. It also kinda sounds like 8-Bit SNES videogame backround music, which is just straight up rad.
Its perfect pop music played electronically, and its just insanely catchy and weird and fun. Have I said weird enough? Have I used to many adjectives? You get the idea. Iits impossible to listen to these songs without bobbing your head!
