Words: Sam Geary
YAK make their return after signing a new record deal with Virgin EMI, with ‘White Male Carnivore’.
The full-on blaster comes as the first taste of their forthcoming second album, and was written while vocalist Oli Burslem was living in Tokyo, "struggling to write, and a friend advised me to write from my own point of view. So I wrote this.
“I listed my diet, my sex and my race - among other things," he adds. "The three words which made me feel the most uncomfortable were white, male and carnivore. Everything currently seems reductive and polarising. This song is a reflection of that.”
