YAK release new track ‘White Male Carnivore’ and announce UK tour

London-based trio YAK have returned with new single ‘White Male Carnivore’!

The track is the first new music from the band since their 2016 album ‘Alas Salvation’ which we gave a rare five stars in our review at the time.

The band’s Oli Burslem says of writing the track: “I 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. 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.”

The track is also the first track to be released since the band announced their recent signing to Virgin EMI.

The band have also announced their live return with a tour of the UK later this year. See the full dates and listen to the track below.
