Editorial review
While Yuma House's self-titled debut album from 1998 had garnered them substantial college radio support, the Washington, D.C.-based power pop quartet's 2002 follow-up, Future Perfect, made substantially bigger waves. In fact, local publication The Journal went so far as to declare the album its Local CD of the Year -- impressive considering the plethora of amazing Washington, D.C., bands, namely Fugazi, who had released their much-celebrated Argument album the same year -- and the paper's music writer, Lou King, referred to the Yuma House song "Smiles" not only as "brilliant," but also his personal "song of the year." Though Future Perfect is a little short on songs, including only seven of them, it compensates with additional multimedia features, including a MPEG video for "(Write Off) Summer." Overall, Yuma House takes a further step toward power pop perfection with Future Perfect. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Indie power-pop stalwart Yuma House started to make waves in its Washington, D.C. home base following the release of its second album, Future Perfect. The album earned local publication The Journal "Local Album of the Year" award. The paper's music writer, Lou King, referred to the closing song Smiles as not only "brilliant" but also his personal "song of the year."
Before becoming the toast of Washington, D.C.'s local rock scene, the quartet (comprised of singer/guitarist Don Brasek, guitarist Danny Espinoza, bassist Eric Chang, and drummer Lee Huber) released its self-titled debut album in 1998. Following impressive college radio play for the album -- added on over 200 college station playlists and charting on a dozen -- Yuma House began to host its music on various websites, exposing the band to an even broader audience.
The band then began to hone its sound in shows in the Washington region, and continued heavy promotion of its first release on the Internet.
↓ more ↓The result - a deal with Garageband Records in 2001 and the release of its follow-up album, Future Perfect.
Yuma House found unprecedented success online at Garageband both in online playback (8 of 10 songs voted into the site's top 100 songs) and online CD sales. On the heels of that success came an extensive East Coast tour to promote the album that stretched as far west as Chicago, where the band performed at the International Pop Overthrow Festival.
Following the early 2002 demise of the Garageband Records label (although it continues to promote Yuma House in its reborn web-centric incarnation), Yuma House set to work on writing new material for its next release and continues to tour.
