At first it may seem that genre-bending London quintet Y will go for a tasty slice of blues on their new single Ladies Who. Is that a slight rumble of a freight train in the distance? Well, there is harmonica, before the band takes a sharp left to explore art-rock territory, with Sophie Coppin adding killer vocals for the story about a woman who is not afraid to take matters into her own hands.
If they can keep this up these musicians of Fat White Family, Meatraffle and Pregoblin will have to rethink the status of what started as a side-project born out boredom during the pandemic.
Y:
Adam Brennan: vocals, guitar
Sophie Coppin: vocals, synth
Dan GB: bass
Fells: drums
Harry Mchale: saxophone
Ladies Who is released via Hideous Mink Records & SO Recordings. Their self-titled debut EP (red vinyl) will be released on April 4th. It is available for pre-order here.
