'''''Yerself Is Steam''''' is the 1991 debut studio album by American [[indie rock]] band [[Mercury Rev]], released on May 14, 1991. The title is a [[malapropismmondegreen]] of the phrase "Youryour self-esteem,", and is taken from a recurring lyric in theopening openingtrack "Chasing a Bee"." "Car Wash Hair" was released as a single to follow the album. "Very Sleepy Rivers" is supposedly{{Weasel inline|date=October 2024}} about a serial killer, with the river acting as a metaphor for the killer's relative calm and sudden tendency to snap.
 
A music video for the song "Chasing a Bee" was shot at an abandoned infectious disease hospital that once housed "[[TyphoidMary MaryMallon]]" on North Brother Island in New York City, and was directed by Jim Spring and Jens Jurgensen.
 
[[Dean Wareham]] of [[Galaxie 500]] made a guest appearance on "Car Wash Hair" and assisted with recording, allegedly after bassist and engineer Dave Fridmann spent the band's advance on a holiday package.
Other editions of ''Yerself Is Steam'' have been released in the UK, including CDs with the "Car Wash Hair" CD single or the Mint Films label compilation CD ''Mint Humbucker'', and LPs pressed on white vinyl with blue splatters, pink swirl vinyl or transparent blue vinyl.

==''Lego My Ego''==
{{No sources section|date=October 2024}}
In 1992, Mint Films/Jungle re-released ''Yerself is Steam'' with a bonus LP/CD entitled ''Lego My Ego.'' The title is a parody of the [[Eggo]] waffles ad slogan, and is taken from a piece of voice tape at the start of "Frittering," where one musician tells another to "let go of my fucking ego" after they tell him how to play a song. It consists of rare tracks and a [[John Peel|Peel Session]]. Mint Films released another edition in 2007 consisting of both CDs plus an all-region DVD of the videos for "Chasing a Bee" and "Car Wash Hair."

Sony/Columbia released a promotional double-CD version of the album in 1992. The first disc consists of the US version of the album. The second disc is the US "Chasing a Bee" CD single. A "Radio Whipped Sticker" on the back of the CD jewelbox numbers the nine tracks on the album as A, B, C, D, E, F, U, C, and K, and the six tracks of the single as:
 
A. "Chasing a Bee" – 7:09<br />B. "If You Want Me to Stay" – 3:37<br />S. "Coney Island Cyclone" – 2:40<br />U. "Frittering" – 4:26<br />R. "Syringe Mouth" – 3:09<br />D. "Chasing a Girl (Inside a Car)" – 6:56

S, U, R, and D are the Peel Session recordings, and are actually one continuous track for 17:53. The run times for B, S, U and D are shorter than on ''Lego My Ego'' because they don't contain the unusual tape material that was added to these songs on it.
