Denver-based band YAN YEZ deftly balance ’90s nostalgic moodiness and anthemic vigor on new single “futurehUSband.” Described as “a layered meditation on queerness, ambition, romance, and heartache,” the track is a replay-inducing delight.
Rumbling bass and effervescent synth tones intertwine with radiant allure, into an “is that you?” moody vocal questioning. Soothing saxophone further bolsters the nocturnal atmospheric intrigue. “You make me shiver and shake, baby, on a warm summer night,” the vocals admit there, ascending in emotion as jubilant guitars, synths, and rhythms into a riveting multi-vocal caressing at the three-minute turn.
