YAKREVEAL NEW TRACK "TAKE IT" FROM DEBUT ALBUM ALAS SALVATION OUT MAY 13th - LISTEN HERE
"Need a morning pick me up? Yak, known for a thrilling live show which can include instrument destruction, can give you that jolt of energy. The band spews all its bottled-up energy, anger and frustration into its music." - NPR All Songs Considered
"'Hungry Heart' is a track with soul-crushing, foot-stomping fury that's designed to evoke some kind of visceral reaction, whether positive or negative. In terms of introductions, it's pretty memorable." - Stereogum
"...young London band Yak whose chaotic live shows and dark garagey sound have garnered comparisons to The Birthday Party and The Cramps (also: Thee Oh Sees or Fat White Family)." -Brooklyn Vegan
"The debut of the year so far, make no mistake." - DIY (5/5)
"Rarely short of breath-taking" - Q Magazine
"Raucous psychedelic eruption" - UncutAlready shaping up to tbe one of the most lauded debuts of the year, Yak will release Alas Salvation (produced by Pulp's Steve Mackey) on May 13th on Octopus Electrical via Kobalt Label Services. Oli Burslem explains: "I was trying to make it a slightly schizophrenic record that had all these different elements, but had so much of everything that by the end it would all just be lost and everybody would be like, 'What the hell was that? I don't know what that was, but I kind of enjoyed it.'"
Following the release of the official video for their thrilling new single "Harbour The Feeling", today the London-based trio reveal "Take It", a very different- sounding album track, which frontman Oli Burslem describes as follows: "We were trying to explore another side of Yak, a more musical side if you liked. We covered King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man early early on and in some ways this is a continuation of that."
