Enthralling with a dynamic prog-rock sound spanning from brightly melodic twangs to nocturnal contemplation, “The Izoku” is a new track from Yomi Ship, a band from Perth, Australia. The release marks the first track from their upcoming debut album, releasing this coming April via Birds Robe Records. The single is accompanied by a riveting animated music video (below); its hypnotic flashes of autumnal colors make for a vivid audible supplement.
Hypnotic rhythms and twangy guitars slither alongside reflective bass, crafting a climactic post-punk feeling reminiscent of The Chameleons UK. The peppier disposition drives past the one-minute turn, swelling into a darker intrigue as swift guitar trickles envelop. The dexterous pace accelerates into the mid-point, traversing to a gorgeously nocturnal soundscape into the fourth minute; here, thumping bass and moody guitars combine for a cinematic, haunting allure.
“The Izoku” marks a striking success from Yomi Ship, who are on tour next week with Delta Sleep (UK) and SIEMS.
