Great Ytene - Away For Now

It seems somewhat appropriate to begin the year with a band who last featured in December's picks for 2014 article.

Great Ytene are a genuinely eye-catching prospect. An absorbing live act whose repertoire blurs melodic psych rock with scruffy shoegaze; the London four-piece have just announced details of a forthcoming 12" on the influential Bella Union label (home to Beach House & I Break Horses, amongst others).

The EP is scheduled for release on March 3rd and features the towering opening track Away For Now - a dense psych workout built around a scrawling guitar hook.

The track is now up on Bella Union's Soundcloud page, whilst curious minds can learn more about Great Ytene through Facebook or the band's official website.
