YAANG Release Exhilarating Single ‘Leech’
Manchester band YAANG have released ‘Leech’, a high-energy single that shifts towards the dancefloor after their seven-minute track ‘Horsepower is God’. It combines techno with post-punk, drawing comparisons to early DFA Records releases.
Produced by Al Groves and mastered by DFA 1979’s Jesse F. Keeler, the track was developed through the band’s live performances. YAANG say it has been a live staple since it was written and describe it as a call to the dancefloor. They are due to play London’s Old Blue Last on 29 October and Manchester’s YES Pink Room on 30 October.
