yoo doo right - Don’t Think You Can Escape Your Purpose (2021)

Montreal trio Yoo Doo Right are announcing today that their new record, Don’t Think You Can Escape Your Purpose, preceded by the record’s booming title track. Landing between spacey krautrock, the doomy post-rock of Godspeed!, and the modern psych sounds made trendy by The Black Angels and their Reverb Appreciation Society and Levitation Fest, the six-minute lead single is a cosmic journey toward an uncertain destination.

Having released a split with Japanese heavy-psych titans Acid Mothers Temple, opened for noise-gaze icons A Place to Bury Strangers, and worked in the studio with some of the engineers behind records for experimental orchestra A Silver Mt. Zion and shapeshifting black metaller Panopticon—not to mention naming themselves after a Can track—these associations may provide some more insight into the group’s sound.
