YOWL mirror stress and burnout with their new single, ‘The Machine’

YOWL have released a new single, ‘The Machine’.

It’s the latest cut from their recently-announced, long-awaited debut album, with ‘Milksick’ set for release on 14th September via Clue Records/EMI North.

Vocalist Gabriel Byrde says: “When I write songs it’s often done on a laptop and then taken to the band, where my efforts are reformed into something more musical. ‘The Machine’ features this jumpy, hectic bass part that demonstrates how little I know about actually playing the bass, so it’s a testament to Beck’s ability that the part remains pretty much as it was keyed into Ableton. The whole sound of the track exists in this weird, faux-programmed state that mirrors its agitated themes of stress and burnout.”

Check out the single below.
