YONEN – Dublin math-rockers go full-on jazz in new animated video
What you may need to know…
01. Last time we checked in on Yonen, we looked at their singles to date before a run of gigs around the country.
02. Business has picked up appreciably for the Dublin-based four-piece, most recently the release of new single Tokyo, via the band’s Bandcamp.
03. Streaming above is the frankly ridiculous promo video for the single. Produced by animator Ross Ryder and Algorithm Studios, it follows protagonist Podraig’s journey into the titular city over its six or seven minutes. The vid premiered on Nialler9 on Monday.
04. The band are presently on the tour in the UK with one-man band Steve Strong, having had a feature on Fecking Bahamas’ excellent Irish math-rock compilation.
Thoughts: An odyssey of a track and a stunning visual accompaniment. Top quality throughout.
