Yellow 6 - Drifting for the Horizon (Merry6mas 2011)

Look. It's Christmas soon and that means that there's a few definites.... There's gonna be time off work,  family, food, booze, presents and a new Yellow 6 xmas CD. It'll be sad when these things end and I have to say it's a thoroughly nice tradition to do a limited release at the end of each year just for the fans in the name of Christmas (said the jew). Drifting For The Horizon is the 1st of these festive releases which isn't on a CDR and there's 250 of the buggers so this one shouldn't last more than 5 minutes. You know what you're getting with Yellow 6. He's not gonna win over any new fans with his brand of cinematic instrumental drifty post rock (without the rock) but he's gonna keep his legions of fans sweet with this 63 minute beastie. It's lovely and drifty and I don't really know what else to say about it cos I've reviewed about a gerjillion of his CD's already but he's one of a handful of artists I can never get enough of. There's some beautiful guitar work here and it's an emotive listen! Nice work Mr 6.
