Youth Man Announce Wax EP Details

11th Apr 2016

Youth Man have announced that their new EP ‘Wax’ will be released on 1st July 2016 on Venn Records.

Fans can get a taster of the Birmingham trio’s new EP – which was recorded completely live in one session – on frenetic and caustic new track ‘Fat Dead Elvis’ below

Released digitally and on limited edition 300 pressing 12″ on frosted clear wax, the record features artwork by drummer Marcus Perks – an original sculpture made of clay, candles, dentures and googly eyes.

The band also took a ton of polaroids during the recording process which will be exclusively available in a booklet that is ONLY available with the vinyl copy of the EP – preorders are on sale now: http://hyperurl.co/YouthManBundle

Commenting on the unorthodox recording sessions that lead to the completion of the new record, the band explain in more detail:

“With ‘Wax’ we wanted to make a record that properly captured our live sound. We wrote the tracks in between tours last year and playing them live felt good for us, so we extended that vibe to the studio and recorded the EP through the night in one live session. They’re night time songs. We wrote them at night and play them at night and you can hear that on the songs.”
