London newcomers Y sign to Hideous Mink Records (Alien Chicks, Opus Kink) & SO Recordings (Enter Shikari, Deadletter, Big Special), and announce debut EP ‘Y’ (pre-order vinyl here), set for release April 4th. Title-track ‘Why’ is out now following its BBC 6 Music Steve Lamacq premiere.
Emerging from the creative crucible of the capital, and comprising of members from or involved with Fat White Family, Meatraffle and Pregoblin, Y is a genre-defying band founded by Adam Brennan and Sophie Coppin during a period of isolation. The duo discovered an uncanny synergy in their music-making, blending shared tastes with contrasting stylistic approaches. This paradox birthed the eclectic, unpredictable sound that defines Y - playfully described as “wonk rock,” “Gameboy thrash,” and even “Egyptian wedding music.”
Newly-signed to Hideous Mink Records & So Recordings, Y will be celebrating their debut single release at their home stage of The Windmill, Brixton later this week (January 24th), before Feburary tour supports with Fat Dog and Keg, and an April 24th headliner at London’s iconic 100 Club; their exhilarating live show promising to solidify their reputation as one of the most captivating new acts in the scene.
Speaking ahead of their single, the band revealed: “‘Why’ is a song that calls everything into question - It’s an ode to the unanswered, endless questions from the trivial, to the deepest philosophical mysteries. Saxophone dominates the chorus as synth and guitar take the space of the traditional lyrical verses as ultimately we found THE question can only be answered through music.”
Y’s ‘Why’ is out now via SO Recordings and Hideous Mink Records and available on all digital platforms.
Y is Adam Brennan (vocals, guitar), Sophie Coppin (vocals, synth), Dan GB (bass), Fells (drums), Harry Mchale (sax)
