A mere 25 years after releasing their first LP, the Young Fresh Fellows have clearly decided it was time to get serious about their career, and they brought in a name producer to man the boards for I THINK THIS IS, their first album since 2001's BECAUSE WE HATE YOU. The producer in question is Robyn Hitchcock, a shrewd choice since he's previously never produced an album for anyone other than himself, and the former Soft Boy actually does make his presence felt in this recording. While the Young Fresh Fellows have often displayed a gleeful sense of eclecticism on record, jumping from style to style as they skip from one tune to the next, I THINK THIS IS is an unusually focused and coherent-sounding set. Though the songs reflect the Fellows' wide-ranging tastes, from the peppy '60s pop of "Go Blue Angels Go" and the semi-disco vamp of "The Ballad of the Bootleg" to the punk-leaning snap of "Shake Your Magazines" and the garage rock snarl of "Let the Good Times Crawl," with Hitchcock behind the board the recording has a uniformly crisp and centered sound. This is a cleaner, neater, and less cluttered Young Fresh Fellows' album than one might expect, but I THINK THIS IS still reveals the quirky joy this band can summon like no other.

MORE ABOUT THIS TITLE

O.G. Seattle rockers and the reverends of the irreverent the Young Fresh Fellows are back with I Think This Is, their first full album since 2001, and 25 years since the release of their ground-breaking first LP, Fabulous Sounds of the Pacific Northwest.

Before grunge and way before indie was so indie, Fellows Scott McCaughey, Kurt Bloch, Tad Hutchison and Jim Sangster were issuing their signature shotgun blasts of punk energy and wry lyricism. I Think This Is is no exception.

Produced by Robyn Hitchcock, the album is a compendium of punk, college rock and 60s pop, from the propulsive guitar rawk of "Shake Your Magazines" and "After Suicide," to the psych-tinged melancholy of "The Guilty Ones" and "Never Turning Back Again." With I Think This Is, the YFF remind us that two guitars, bass and drums, plus a barrel of beer is still the perfect recipe for success. Or maybe failure. But that's cool.
