Fear Not the Obvious


Fear Not the Obvious was the first album released by The Yayhoos. The week-long songwriting sessions that would become the album were recorded and produced by band member Eric Ambel at Terry Anderson's fathers' barn in rural North Carolina, then mixed years later at Ambel's Cowboy Technical Services Recording in Williamsburg, Brooklyn by Grammy Winning engineer Jay Newland. "Baby I Love You" was featured on the soundtrack of the movie Slither and "Bottle and a Bible" was included on the Ace Records compilation of songs played on Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour. The album finishes with a cover of ABBA's "Dancing Queen".
