Our Take

YAK's latest album, "Pursuit Of Momentary Happiness," is a rollercoaster ride of psychedelic rock and punk energy that will have you grooving in your skinny jeans and Doc Martens faster than you can say "indie cred." With sprawling guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and frontman Oli Burslem's raw vocals, this album is a sonic assault on the senses in the best possible way.

Tracks like "Bellyache" and "White Male Carnivore" showcase YAK's ability to blend garage rock with a touch of madness, creating a sound that is both chaotic and captivating. The band doesn't hold back on this record, delving into themes of love, addiction, and the fleeting nature of happiness with a reckless abandon that is as refreshing as it is exhilarating.

However, the album does have its moments of introspection, with tracks like "Layin' It On The Line" and "Encore" showing a softer, more vulnerable side to YAK's music. These moments provide a nice contrast to the high-octane energy of the rest of the album, showing that the band is not afraid to delve into deeper emotional territory.

Overall, "Pursuit Of Momentary Happiness" is a wild, unpredictable ride that will leave you with a grin on your face and a desire to dance like no one is watching. YAK has once again proven themselves to be one of the most exciting bands in the UK music scene, and this album is a testament to their talent and creativity. So grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let YAK take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!

Yak

London-based trio YAK burst onto the scene in 2014 with their debut album "Alas Salvation," and have been making waves ever since. Fronted by the enigmatic Oli Burslem, the band's frenetic live shows have earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting acts in the UK music scene. YAK's music is a raucous blend of punk, garage rock, and psychedelic influences, with Burslem's charismatic vocals and blistering guitar riffs at the forefront. The band's sound is raw, energetic, and undeniably infectious, drawing comparisons to iconic acts such as The Stooges and The Velvet Underground. In addition to their electrifying live performances, YAK have also made a name for themselves as innovative songwriters and producers. Their sophomore album, "Pursuit of Momentary Happiness," showcased a more experimental side to the band, with tracks like "Bellyache" and "Words Fail Me" earning critical acclaim for their bold sonic experimentation. With their fearless approach to music-making and boundary-pushing sound, YAK have established themselves as one of the most exciting bands in the UK music scene. Whether they're tearing up a stage at Glastonbury or headlining a sold-out show at London's Electric Ballroom, this is a band that knows how to command attention and leave a lasting impression. So, if you're looking for a band that isn't afraid to push the boundaries and challenge the status quo, look no further than YAK. With their infectious energy, raw talent, and unapologetically bold sound, this is a band that's destined for big things in the world of music.
