Yes We Mystic – Undertow

Yes We Mystic kommen aus Winnipeg. Das klingt nach einem kleinen Kaff, aber Winnipeg ist die Hauptstadt der kanadischen Provinz Manitoba und wäre in Deutschland die sechstgrößte Stadt hinter Frankfurt.

Die Musik von Yes We Mystic klingt auch alles andere als hinterwäldlerisch. Ich würde ihren Song Undertow als orchestralen Pop mit tiefen Wurzeln im Indie-Rock bezeichnen. Auf der Soundcloud-Seite der Band kannst du noch andere tolle Songs hören. Ihr Debütalbum Forgiver erscheint am 29. April.

„Yes We Mystic was born of necessity. After the harsh breakup of their high school band, front men Adam Fuhr and Keegan Steele picked up and started again; stole a name off a bus bench and began writing folk songs. These songs, born in bedrooms and basements, eventually became 2013’s Floods and Fires, an EP hailed by BeatRoute as a “complexly orchestrated masterpiece”. Cramming a full band into Adam’s parents van, they played those songs for two years at festivals and venues across Canada including performances at NXNE, M for Montreal, and Breakout West, sharing the stage with Dan Mangan.

But then, as it always does, came change. The long time members packed it in and moved away. Tastes shifted. New members brought new ideas and new strengths. […] Yes We Mystic works constantly at building and then defying expectations. Their new record, Forgiver, is sure to do just that. Forgiver was recorded over the course of three weeks in June 2015 with legendary Canadian producer Jace Lasek (Patrick Watson, Wolf Parade, Land of Talk).“
