Yamantaka \/\/ Sonic Titan continue\u00a0to tease their hotly anticipated release of their third album, ‘DIRT’ \u2014\u00a0this time, with a walloping new single. The collective’s latest offering, Hungry Ghost<\/em> is a riling four-and-a-half minutes that begins with ethereal vocals and sparse instrumentation, carefully ascending to a crescendo of hacksaw guitars and acid jazz horns. ‘DIRT’\u00a0<\/em>is due out via Paper Bag Records on March 23rd – pre-order\u00a0here<\/a>. Take a listen to Hungry Ghost via Spotify below.<\/p>\n

‘DIRT’\u00a0is YT\/\/ST’s follow-up to their Polaris Prize shortlisted sophomore effort ‘UZU’. <\/em>While ‘DIRT’ is poised to be the band’s most narratively ambitious project yet, the album is nevertheless a masterful leap in their musical evolution. Funneling influences like Judas Priest, Killing Joke, and Jordan Knight through their own unique lens, YT\/\/ST resists being pigeonholed into any one idea, sound or cultural perspective<\/p>\n

Yamantaka \/\/ Sonic Titan were never ones to fit neatly into one category\u2014or even one artistic discipline. Functioning principally as a Noh-Wave prog collective, YT\/\/ST marries Asian diasporic and Indigenous influences with rock sludge and pop sensibilities. No matter what direction they choose to pursue, though, it can only come from Yamantaka \/\/ Sonic Titan.<\/p>\n
