Pati Yang – Hold Your Horses
Hold Your Horses was included in XFM’s X-Posure top 5 tracks of the week (July 30th – August 5th) and has had support from Radio 6. Pati Yang has also been featured the August edition of DJ Magazine in their “Coming UP” section as well as MixMag’s September issue and had been tipped on many online areas.
Her impressive CV showcases support slots with Depeche Mode in 2006 and, in 2007, The Sunday Times named FlyKiller, a trip hop act fronted by Pati, as that year’s second most important breakthrough act. Another previous band Children was included in The Independent newspaper’s round up of the best new experimental electronic artists.
Pati’s brand of Synth based experimental electro pop has seen the UK press draw parallels with thriving Scandinavian pop artists such as Bjork, Nikki and the Dove, Robyn and Icona Pop, whilst Joe Cross’s influence on the record has prompted references to acts such as Hurts and Florence and the Machine.
Pati said about the release; “Hold Your Horses to me is a kind of a feel good track, but without the feel good in it. It never ceases to amaze me that the irony of relationships seems to be that people hold back. We blast it out to the world through social media but often can’t face people we care about… Sound wise, imagine Warhol’s take on that can of soup, it’s a kind of a take on pop music, where the palate of sounds and the structure forms a song, but it just doesn’t want to sound like a linear pop record. I had a lot of fun working on it.”
To coincide with this second release, Pati is returning to the studio to write her 5th full length album to be released in March, which will be her first full UK solo release.
