YĪN YĪN return with the new single, "The Year of the Rabbit”
Acclaimed global psych rockers YĪN YĪN return with the new single, "The Year of the Rabbit” – their first standalone single of the year.
"The Year of the Rabbit” is taken from YĪN YĪN's upcoming third album, Mount Matsu, which the first album by the band that was born through a truly democratic process between four befriended musicians, and follows on from 2022's The Age of Aquarius.
Mount Matsu finds the band – who now live and record in a nearby Belgian countryside home and studio – morphing their sound to include pentatonic scales, vintage synthesisers, huge dynamics and a deep dive into Japanese musical motifs.
Hailing from Holland’s southernmost city of Maastricht, YĪN YĪN entered the scene back in 2019 with the Thai psych-rock influenced album, The Rabbit that Hunts Tigers, which was followed up in 2022 with the more spiritual and cosmic sounding, The Age of Aquarius.
The band are also announcing their next series of UK dates for February 2024, including stops in Manchester, Bristol, Brighton, and London's Village Underground on 16 February.
