TOP TRACK: "RADIO" BOTTOM TRACK: "SWEET DEE"

Yukon Blonde’s TigerTalk pulses with kicking drums, electric riffs, bold bass, and harmonious vocals. Channeling the sounds of the 60s and 70s, the Vancouver natives’ 10-track sophomore album is filled with cool vibes and poppy upbeat melodies. The standouts are opening songs “My Girl” and “Radio,” along with “Oregon Shores” and “Six DeadTigers”. But lead vocalist Jeff Innes is the real selling point here. A blend of Dylan and McCartney (if it existed), he’s part everyman, part music god. It’s psychedelic rock for our generation.
