New Band Spotlight: Emperor Yes


Emperor Yes are a 3 piece from London. They recently played at the Barfly as part of John Kennedy’s XFM Xposure night. Although in their fledgling stages, TT has no doubt that they will soon be considered space-rock and multi layered rock royalty along with The Flaming Lips and The Postal Service.

At the end of Feb they released their latest single. Here is our review:


End Of The World

If only more pop music was as good as this. The music and vocals are drenched in sunshine and optimism but underneath, lies the depressing theme of Armageddon . The London trio are clearly inspired by Flaming Lips, this track could be on their classic ‘VOID’ album and not be out of place. Compliments cannot come much higher than that!

Don’t They Know

The b-side is a lot more experimental and nowhere near as catchy. It is like Tame Impala exploding inside Wayne Coyne’s mind whilst he was listening to Air and Hot Chip.
