Yukon Blonde with Postdata and Josh Carter

After ten years since forming and five LPs in, Yukon Blonde have been characterized in a lot of different ways. They emerged as a guitar-heavy rock band with their debut self-titled LP in 2010 and by tthe release of On Blonde in 2015, they were experimenting with slick, ‘80s inspired pop elements like those heard on the album’s driving hit single “Saturday Night.” More recently, on 2018’s Critical Hit, the Vancouver-based five piece band turned their attention to mood making, largely ditching their guitars in favour of synths and drum machines to build danceable, multi-dimensional soundscapes.
