Yak have announced their release plans for second album ‘Pursuit of Momentary Happiness’.
The full-length is set to arrive on 8th February 2019 via new label home Virgin EMI / Third Man Records, with the news arriving alongside a brand new single, ‘Fried’.
Recorded over 10 days at RAK Studios, where they laid down 29 songs, 11 have made their way onto the record. Recorded with producer Marta Salogni (Bjork, Django Django), they were then finished up with Spiritualized leader Jason Pierce in his small home studio, before being remixed in New York.
