Yak have announced they’ve signed a new record deal with Virgin EMI for the release of their second album.
There’s not much more info about the follow-up to 2016 debut ‘Alas Salvation’ at the mo, but there is a new track and a new UK tour – check out ‘White Male Carnivore’ below.
“I was living in Tokyo, struggling to write and a friend advised me to write from my own point of view. So I wrote this,” explains vocalist Oli Burslem.
“I listed my diet, my sex and my race – among other things. The three words which made me feel the most uncomfortable were white, male and carnivore. Everything currently seems reductive and polarising. This song is a reflection of that.”
The band’s new tour will kick off on 23rd October, find the details after the jump.
