CONFIRMATION BIAS (COLV) (DLCD)

On the unstoppably kinetic Confirmation Bias, Chicago's Yeesh rides a wave of momentum from its well-received 2015 debut LP No Problem while honing its brand of eclectic and dynamic noise-pop even further. Pulling from diverse strains of the indie canon to create a sound that is singular and cerebral, yet cohesive and entirely familiar, Confirmation Bias finds the ambitious three-piece catapulting driving post-punk rhythms and math-y structures against a backdrop of fuzzy, feedback-drenched guitars and ear-worm melodies. Yes, Yeesh covers a hell of a lot of ground - from Dischord-esque post-hardcore to lo-fi grunge and even '90s emo - but it does so naturally, fearlessly and with supreme aplomb. Confirmation Bias is a watershed moment for Yeesh, moving beyond its influences and morphing into a full-on rock behemoth that demands to be heard.
