Seattle legends Young Fresh Fellows, the band led by Scott McCaughey (R.E.M., The Baseball Project) that also includes Fastbacks' Kurt Bloch, are back with Toxic Youth, their first album in eight years. The record was somewhat made by accident. Knowing that frequent YFF producer Conrad Uno's famed Egg Studios in Seattle -- where they made many of their records over the years -- was about to close, the band regrouped to record just a couple songs. They ended up leaving with 17 completed tracks, 12 of which they decided were album-worthy. (Other Egg tracks ended up on last year's Exit Ramp which also collected songs that had never been released on vinyl.) The album got a limited release for the October edition of Record Store Day, and we've got the premiere of the video for "Becky Doll," which features co-lead vocals from Coco Hames of The Ettes. Directed by Scott Ferril, the video is a computer animated haunted house tale that should excite folks who didn't get enough Halloween last weekend. Says Scott, "Pretty cool, huh? Watch it on a big screen!"
