Yazoo - Three Pieces

Review by Kapitanluffy Pirata

Yazoo's album "Three Pieces" is a collection of three EPs released between 1982 and 1983. The album showcases the band's unique blend of synth-pop and blues, which has become a defining characteristic of their sound.

The first EP "You and Me Both" features the hit single "Nobody's Diary" and is a testament to the band's ability to craft catchy, danceable tunes with a melancholic edge. The second EP "Upstairs at Eric's" includes the timeless classic "Don't Go" and is a showcase of the band's skill at creating atmospheric, moody soundscapes.

The final EP "Situation" features an extended version of the title track, which has become a staple of 80s dance floors. The EP also includes the b-side "The Other Side of Love," a lesser-known gem that showcases the band's versatility.
