Yammerer Return!

By Jon Milton

Yammerer. Remember them? The somewhat mysterious band from somewhere in the North-West last released new music back in July 2021 and haven’t been heard of since - until now that is.
​
Being a somewhat mercurial bunch, their come-back record ‘ESZ – Erth Station Zebra’ is of course, a 45-minute psychedelic opus in 6 movements. And very good it is too - you really have to give it your full attention for the whole length of the track to appreciate it, but it’s well worth the effort. Think Can, Doors, Velvet Underground, Lee Scratch Perry and Echo and the Bunnymen on acid and you’ll be in the right ball park. 

ESZ has emerged from three different recording sessions, improvised and captured live and engaged in what Damo Suzuki called ‘instant composition’. The band describe ESZ as ‘a transcendent odyssey…a journey that invites listeners to explore the mysteries of its universe in 6 movements…where the direction is a way of seeing’. Which might sound a bit overly-elaborate but makes perfect sense once you’ve given it a listen.

There’s more music on the horizon too, with the band half-way through recording their debut album. No news of any gigs as yet, but they have set up an Instagram account so give them a follow. Still no interviews though…       

ESZ is released on 16th August on Docklands Speed Shop records.
