“Yarn for Future Scarves” is the second LP from Brooklyn indie rock band Wetsuit (Allison Becker, Anders Nils, Paul DeSilva, and Tess Kramer), following their 2023 debut Sugar, I’m Tired on Substitute Scene Records. While Sugar introduced their explosive loud/sweet sound, Yarn dives deeper into memory, identity, and the textures of lived experience.
Recorded in Asheville with producer Alex Farrar, the album blends Wetsuit’s raw live energy with new sonic risks- layered guitars, synths, and citylike ambient fuzz. As The Big Takeover put it: “If opener ‘Cider’ feels like ’90s college rock blended with cinematic scope, raw indie running through a layer of ambient understatement, ‘Midwest Dream,’ which follows, is the sound of galloping alt-country finding itself trapped in an industrial music mosh pit.”
Throughout the record, Becker’s lyrics move between Midwest childhood, her 2010 move to NYC, and present reflections on home and self. Sweet Sixteen and Amy capture teenage longing and self-discovery, while Hashem and John Mulaney explore questions of Jewish identity and belonging. Closing tracks Always Sunny and The Fog return to the comforts of Brooklyn life: routine, love, gratitude.
Accompanied by music videos directed by solely by women collaborators and often Becker herself, Yarn is as much visual archive as record. Wetsuit has "crafted a record that lingers, folding the past into the present with both sweetness and urgency." (Mystic Sons)
