Yamantaka \/\/ Sonic Titan\u00a0released their acclaimed third album, ‘DIRT’ earlier this year. The album was\u00a0recently included on the Polaris Music Prize longlist.\u00a0Now, the band has\u00a0announced tour dates in the United Kingdom and Europe\u00a0which includes stops in Amsterdam, London, Oslo and Copenhagen.\u00a0Full details below.\u00a0Order ‘DIRT’\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0via Paper Bag Records.<\/p>\n

Deep in the bowels of the sunken turtle starship\u00a0Anowara, a holographic simulation of 2Xth century Pureland is left running unattended for 10,000 years. The malfunctioning AI, tasked with taking care of humanity, instead resents its maker for being abandoned. The two faced nature of obsession plays out in the space between love and violence as the deadly grip of earthly desires brings only suffering through its unquenchable thirst.<\/p>\n

‘DIRT’ is YT\/\/ST’s follow-up to their Polaris Prize shortlisted sophomore effort ‘UZU’. 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
