Yannis & The Yaw explore apocalyptic environmental degradation with their new single, 'Rain Can't Reach Us'
The EP features will be supported by live shows across Europe.
Yannis & The Yaw, a collaboration between Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis and the late drummer Tony Allen, have released a new single.
'Rain Can't Reach Us' arrives ahead of their upcoming EP 'Lagos Paris London'. The five-track effort, set for release on 30th August via Transgressive, features the new single alongside previously released tracks 'Walk Through Fire' and 'Under The Strikes'.
Philippakis says of the track: "We actually referred to 'Rain Can't Reach Us' as 'The Tornado' for a long time because it feels like a gale blowing through your house and it's just cool to hear Tony at the heart of that.
"There's a chance it could have become a Foals track, but sharing that idea with Tony made it become this other thing. I think that's really exciting, it's like putting in random coordinates, getting in your car and driving and not knowing where you're going to show up. You could be led anywhere."
