YAK return with new single 'White Male Carnivore'

After blowing us away with their brilliant 2016 debut album 'Alas Salvation', YAK are back and have now shared a brand new single.

The new track 'White Male Carnivore' is the first piece of new material from the band since their first full-length, and is their debut release through their new home at Virgin/EMI.

Speaking about the single, the band’s Oli Burslem said, “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.”

No word yet as to whether a new album from the trio is on the way, but you can check out 'White Male Carnivore' in the player below.
