LISTEN HERETOURING THE UK THIS MONTH
Today, London-based trio Yak have released a new EP titled Atlas Complex. The EP features already released single “Am I Am Good Man?” alongside three other brand new tracks. Listen HERE.
The EP, largely recorded at Third Man and released through Third Man Records and Virgin EMI, follows on from the release of their critically acclaimed second album Pursuit of Momentary Happiness earlier this year.
Frontman Oli Burslem explains, “Atlas Complex was recorded between Nashville and South London at the beginning of this summer. The “atlas complex” is centred around an idea of losing all sense of everything. It’s a state of mind in which a person believes that the world is on their shoulders and they’re unable to deal with what they perceive as endless problems and uncertainty.”Following the release of Pursuit of Momentary Happiness, the trio completed a month long UK and European tour, followed by 18 dates supporting Foals and performances at Glastonbury and Green Man festivals. This month they’ll play another run of headlines shows across the UK.
