Like a lucid Shane MacGowan fronting a frazzled house band, YOWL are a South London based 5 piece band of menacing-indie storytellers, swinging from intense proto-punk to swooning balladry. Born from the grit and gristle of South London, their debut album is both a curdled, anxiety-riddled reaction and a bitter antidote to our times.
The South London group YOWL are ready to introduce debut album ‘Milksick’.
The band caused a ruckus with 2019 EP ‘Atrophy’, with their sludge-driven proto-punk sound aiming for the jugular. Taking time out, YOWL have now uncovered fresh focus, and return with some razor-sharp material.
Out on September 14th, debut album ‘Milksick’ is the result of endless late night sessions, with YOWL pushing themselves to the brink. In a note, the band label the songs “a collection of outlandish cautionary tales, uneasy odes to imaginary characters and late night pedal-fuckery”.
New scorcher ‘Idiot Daughters, Idiot Sons’ is out now, with Gabriel Byrne’s unhinged vocal performance taking the band to fresh heights of oblivion. He comments…
“This one’s about those introspective times you spend lying awake at night sometimes, head buzzing with wasted time, missed opportunities and the chastising carousel of humiliating moments that nobody except you probably noticed or remembered. It’s self-flagellation via upbeat falsettos, a cheery groove dedicated to times when personal resentment turns into a maddening cycle of internal finger-wagging.”
Our debut album ‘Milksick’ is out on the 14th September.
