You Scream I Scream, based on Nantucket and in New York City, is at its core a three-piece band with distorted bass guitar and vocals (Floyd Kellogg), Rhodes and synth (Jake Vohs), along with floor tom-driven drums and big cymbals (Audrey Sterk). The music's unique fingerprint is part Talking Heads in its beats and the lyrics' sometimes dark playfulness, and Floyd's vocal stylings--baritone singing and yelling contrasted with "bitchy girl" backing vocals--and stripped-down instrumentation can be reminiscent of Morphine or Soul Coughing. "Bug in a Light," the band's debut album, led to several catchy music videos, landing spots on MuchMusic's "The Wedge," MTV, New York Noise and Billboard.com. YSIS is now recording their second full-length album, to be released in spring 2011
