YETI LANE will be headlining the OUI LOVE party on 22nd October alongside Chapelier Fou and Boogers. Read on for more on the young Parisian group.
YETI LANE
The four members of YETI LANE combine to create melodic poppy post-rock with vocals not un-reminiscent of Thurston Moore, mirrored by Stereolab’s synths played by a more Krautrock Atlas Sound, and framed by a rhythm section that keeps the music propelling onwards. One day these sounds will see them orbiting the Earth.
Label-mates with band of the moment Team Ghost, featuring M83’s Nicolas Fromageau (who are supporting Crystal Castles and Health at the Roundhouse this month), we are ecstatic to have YETI LANE headlining the OUI LOVE party.
"The harmonious union of cosmic rock with sparkling pop that this enchanting album contains. 9/10"
NME
"Rising from the ashes of French psych-rockers Cyann & Ben, on one of the greatest band never to make it big, three piece Yeti Lane seem to be aiming their music right for the (admittedly, indie) mainstream, on this, their exceptionally strong debut.9/10"
Loud & Quiet
"Yeti Lane risk being packed off at Gare du Nord with a one-way ticket to London, as this is probably the least French rock album you’ll hear. You wouldn’t send them back"
