Pescegatto

Documentary made during the studio rehearsals and recordings of the "Yield" album by Pearl Jam. A documentary not for everyone, about an album not for everyone, by a band not for everyone. But, guys... Jack Irons on drums, and I've said it all.

Super-concise album, songs stripped to the essentials, but they work well. These are folk songs with a pop structure and melodies, lyrics reminiscent of '90s emo (to be clear, it vaguely reminds me of Sunny Day Real Estate, without the cliché '00s emo tropes about suicide and depression, but with a strong sense of melancholy). Clearly, the biggest limitation is the brevity of the songs and the simplicity of the arrangements. It's a great record to listen to if you have 20 minutes to relax.
