Yassassin were formed from a gene pool of previous bands including the History of Apple Pie and Lust. They make playful, garage-pop with delightfully, sharp edges and are ready to shatter the “too cool for school” ideology that lingers around the music scene. Named after the Bowie song, which also means “long live” in turkish, Yassassin’s main concern is to enjoy their ride as a band as honestly and joyfully as possible. their songs cover the male gaze, societal power struggles in london and being a mermaid, all fed through a sassy, sneering, dead-pan induced dream which will make you get your arse off your chair and turn up the volume.
Taken from the girls’ new EP, Vitamin Y, “Cherry Pie”, is a swirling, lustful confession to obsession which is given some legs to run with it by its sleazy undertone and the blindness of desire. vocalist Anna, drawls her narrative, sounding like a vampy-siouxsie sioux, whilst the accompanying video is a fabulous extension of the song, especially if you like your humour crude.
