FDF Volume 5 Issue 391 – Do Make Say Think - & Yet & Yet



Artist - Do Make Say Think
Album - & Yet & Yet

Released - March 18, 2002

Its been a long time since I’ve done one of these, but have the chance to listen to music at work right now and outside of catching up on the “new” stuff I’ve gone back to explore some.

This is the 3rd release from Do Make Say Think.  & Yet & Yet is not a wild departure for the band.  Long atmospheric builds with horns, and strings giving it fuller layers.  They are mellow on much of the release and it’s a welcome presence.  As I listen at work nothing was jarring, it sort of filled the background and would catch my attention here and there as things would build, or a time change would embrace me.

It’s a perfect record for a late evening, early morning reflection listen.  Fitting for the state of the world right now.

The bands last studio record was “Stubborn Persistent Illusions” released back in 2017.  The band can exceed 8 “active”members seemingly all the time and many side projects have kept the band busy.
