Colorado four-piece Night Fishing debuted earlier this year with an EP called Live Bait (review here) that on Dec. 1 they’ll follow with two more cuts being delivered as a second EP, Yuppie Cortado. The 10-minute title-track of the new offering is streaming now, and it reinforces the feeling I had coming off Live Bait, which is that the band are onto something. There aren’t a lot of American acts who willfully take on a European-style heavy psychedelia, but Night Fishing — in addition to their sportsmanly thematic — do have that going on, and though they’re drawling and mostly spoken, there are vocals on “Yuppie Cortado,” which if I’m not mistaken is a first for the band.

That’s especially noteworthy to me because of the involvement in Night Fishing of Zach Amster, also of Small Stone heavy rockers Abrams. Dude can sing, and that band’s penchant for structure and traditional songwriting isn’t to be understated. If some of those impulses toward craft are bleeding into Night Fishing, then the Monster Magnet-style space heavy of “Yuppie Cortado” might be just the beginning of what they’ll unfurl going forward. Regardless, you should check out the song and maybe preorder a tape. Yeah that’s right, tape preorders. The future is also the past. You get used to it.
