Yak - Alas Salvation (2016)

Just over a year since their first single "Hungry Heart" was released - a period that saw their unpredictable gigs and electrifying clutch of studio recordings earn them a reputation as the most exciting and talked about new act in the UK - Yak have channelled their ferocious live experience into their debut album 'Alas Salvation'. Recorded with Pulp's Steve Mackey, it's a wired and ambitious record that refuses to be pigeonholed. Yet beneath all the head-spinning chaos lies a beating heart of great melodicism and a hyperactively eclectic and inventive approach to making music.
