Music News - Out Today: Yukon Era - 'Knife Skies'
07 September 2018 - 0 Comments
Knife Skies is the third single taken from Yukon Era's upcoming album set for release early 2019.
LISTEN HERE:
Knife Skies is about letting the small pressures of life get under your skin, feeling as if everything you do is like wading through mud. “You shake at the thought of breathing” is one of my favourite lines I have written because it definitely sums up where my mind was at, around the time of writing this song. The song was just a guitar and vocal demo on my laptop for a long long time. When the whole band finally got together on it it became something extremely different, something heavy and jumpy.
AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES THIS WEEKEND:
UPCOMING NEW ZEALAND TOUR DATES WITH SODA BOYZ:
Since forming in high school in June of 2015 Yukon Era,
through hard-work, ambition and talent have rightly carved out a name for
themselves within the local and international post-punk music scenes.
Their songs are loud and melodic, quiet and chaotic. The band
have created a modern and polished sound which they deliver via
stubborn-ly classic garage rock. In the flesh Yukon Era's greatest asset
might the bands ability to convey their well crafted tunes
via a set brimming with youthful confidence to form something
truly endearing, energetic and exciting.
The Auckland, New Zealand based post-punk quartet have released two well
crafted EPs to critical acclaim - their first self titled EP (2016)
garnered attention from Noisey and Tone Deaf and their second EP - Consume
& Scratch released in late
2016 attracted interest from The New Zealand
Herald, Sniffers, and The Wireless. “Five
songs of spirited and shambolic garage-rock that come wrapped in a kind of
Libertines-ish charm” - The
Wireless.
They were the youngest band to play the coveted annual Laneway Festival in
2017 and have opened for the likes of Mac Demarco, Preoccupations, METZ,
DMA’s and Mini Mansions, and were named as one of the Top 8 Kiwi Guitar
Tracks of 2016 by Impose Magazine [US], Yukon
Era are: "Old-fashioned rock and roll cut from the
same cloth as Polvo and Fugazi – embedded with a hint of classic kiwi jangle. A
post-punk band on the rise, with the confidence and skill to make it big."
The band, comprised of singer Christian
Dimick, guitarist Lachie
Thurlow, bassist Pierre
Beasley and drummer James
Dimick. will head out on a three date North
Island tour this March to celebrate the release of their brand new
single 'Feel' which is being released digitally on February the 16th. 'Feel' which was recorded at
Red Bull studios in Auckland, cements the bands place in the post-punk
world while showcasing their ever expanding musical development.
With the group having recently played The
Great Escape Festival in Brighton UK alongside a
UK/European tour, upcoming Australian dates and a New Zealand Spring tour it's
clear to all that Yukon Era are aiming high, and 2018 is going to be
a big year for the band.
