YAK WHITE MALE CARNIVORE

London noise-makers Yak are back with an explosive new track by the name of 'White Male Carnivore'. Despite recently signing a deal with major players Virgin EMI, Yak haven't lost their savage sound. Delivering high-octane vocals, filthy fuzzed-out guitar, rampant bass and pounding, motorik drums in their signature euphoric style. 'White Male Carnivore' is also the band's most brutally honest cut to date, as singer Oli Burslem takes aim at his own insecurities and presses the metaphorical self-destruct button. He explains, “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. 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.” We recommend listening to this one LOUD. -Holly Mullineaux
