SINGLE REVIEW: Yutaniii – ‘Jaded’

0
2

The thing about Yutaniii is that you never quite know what you’re going to get, ‘Jaded’ is a brilliant example of that. And it’s another example of why the band are so bloody difficult to put into a niche, as we will see.

The sound of this is undoubtedly heavy, kind of rock based. But that’s just a starting point. Is it punky mad art-post hardcore? Or perhaps heavy punky progressive? Or something else entirely different? To be honest there are probably as many definitions as there are people who hear it. For example I haven’t even addressed the more than a hint of deranged space-rock or psych garage.

Perhaps it’s best to describe it as what this music is for? This is music to throw yourself around in a totally out of control way, mind-blown, totally blissed out. It is music that compels, music that mesmerises, music that takes over your body and mind.

There are sawing guitars, keyboards that are all off-kilter and frankly disturbing, vocals that rant. It swirls, it pounds into your head like a hammer. It’s wonderfully deranged. And yet, there is a strange sort of beauty in the way it’s put together.

Yutaniii make music that’s hard to describe in any way except as brilliantly different. ‘Jaded’ is the sound of a band that’s pushing the musical envelope, and doing it gloriously. You just gotta listen to this.

The info
