News: Dublin Duck Dispensary offers up Yykes Basket EP for free

For one day only this Saturday (tomorrow!), Ireland's only tragically brilliant noise pop archetype, Dublin Duck Dispensary, will offer his latest EP, the 8-song, barely-twenty minute Yykes Basket, for a free download to anyone who logs on to Rack & Ruin Records. The 3" CD version of the effort--DDD's seventh release--sold out quite quickly in its original pressing, so a free digital download sounds just plain great to us. Yykes Basket is as beguiling as it is rewarding, with a mix of everything you yourself could imagine being musical, from strummy ukuleles or wound-too-tight snare drums to distorted walls of washing sounds. Yes yes yes, this is bedroom-produced next-level shit. If you go onto the dude's MySpace and take one peak at his cover of the ABBA classic "Mamma Mia", you're mind will melt into your spinal fluid. This, naturally, is a good thing.
