No Ceremony
Artist: Y'all Is Fantasy Island
Year: 2008
Release: WBI02
“They deliberately, playfully toy with scores of influences, but that’s no bad thing. If heard “properly” by the right people, Y’all is Fantasy Island could be big by 2010. Until then, go see them live.” 5/5 – The List
“Fires into life with thundering guitars and zealous vocals… veers toward the noise-soaked abandon of The Smell – then, that instinct for restraint edges in, songs beginning to unfold across four or five minutes like a pop-sized Godspeed!” – Plan B Magazine
“YiFi’s potent mixture of Celtic Americana is sprawled out on the porch, moonshine in hand. No Ceremony finds considered rockers like Punk Rock Disco jostling with the punky urgency of Wreck on the Highway Boy and the folky, banjo-plucked majesty of Jack Montgomery for pride of place on an album schizophrenic in style but remarkably consistent in quality. I say that, jaw agape, because Stafford and co just scored the hat-trick.” 4/5 The Skinny Magazine
“There’s not a duff track on No Ceremony. A late contender for album of the year.” – Scottish Daily Record
