1.How did Yak come to be give us a history lesson.
We didn't come to give nothing except our "iron candies", and in those candies there's nothing about history, only the fucking present!
2. Your on OTO Records a label ive not heard of how did you sign with them.
Oto Record is a small independent label which is growing fast here in Italy. The situation is very simple: OTO Record believe to us and we sign with them, nothing more. We hope this merge will be a reality also to the other side of the ocean.
3. You music is such an odd mix of Avant, Noise, Metal, Jazz , Hiphop and Pop music . how are the live shows , do you find it hard get person on shows with like minded artists
First of all, in the YAK's live shows, there is a great sound impact "Pure Violence", difficult to record on a CD. The Yak is a heavy animal and it moves only in flock. Then, can you image 5 sweating yaks that beat and jump on the stage? they are very difficult to manage!! So this kind of show draws a lot of attentions and the yak's family like the national geographics's spectators grows day by day to see this violent flock run by the cities. We don't know if there are minded artists inside, but we can say that every show we talk about our music with a lot of "curious", it 's a nice thing.
4. Aural Music seems to be distroing the CD they are parent of the amazing Code666 are you happy with distro so far.
Iron Flavoured Candies will be out on the second of june and this is the only important thing. Certainly we are happy to be distributed so far.
5. ' Iron Flavored Candies' is such an odd release have you read anything in a review that shocked or upset you?
Yes, many webzine said that iron flavoured candies is a low… butWe aren't upset because if we were it you should have some collaborator less (ahahaha!)However, every metal/death/core album need more than one listening and we are conscious that Iron flavoured candies is a strange album for the music in general e this aspect make we proud.
6. what bands influenced YAK's Sounds
We are influenced by all the situations lived and every listening, there isn't any model to follow... simply we try to take inspiration from the time we are living. Anyway we listen a very large range of different music styles and artists, so the inspiration could be retrieved by anything, anytime and anyway.
7. What your thoughts on the digital age are you for digital releases, Myspace, webzine or do you miss Radio, Print zines and a full lp
in the days of oldtoday everyone could produce, propose and distro a CD using the digital age's technology, so out is the music caos… webzine have big quantity of reviews to do in a few time and the people could have gigabyte of music in a day, but not the time to listen it at all!!! The qualities of the sound productions are going low , but in a moment you can reach kilometers that you can't in a lifelong… the life's duality is here in like everything… Yak is served by use this technologies because now are necessary but we can say that Iron Flavoured Candies is recorded and produced without disrespectful editing and mastering. Today the most of productions are standard, fully of compressions made for the "crazy volume's war" We join now to the digital age, in the u.s.a. we should agree with the "Less Volume" movement.
8. How does Yak creat the music in a studio is it a group effort or do you work on music 1st of lyrics???
Every yak's tracks is a vision. Have you ever sing the soundtrack about what you are seeing and listening, walking into the street of your city?This is an usual idea for a track. And by this way every track has a different taste…
9. Being on a smaller label do you have any real North American push or is just Aural music pushing it here
Our Sicilian friends said that we will play everywhere in U.S.A. but they are talking only about "Pizzerias"!! And also they continue to saying that before the travel, into the instruments cases they'll must put in "something"!!!
10. Will you be touring on this CD and if so with who?
We are presenting the album in many show cases here in Italy for the moment. The most interesting show we are waiting for, is with THE LOCUST the 28th of Augus. Anyway it's better you stay tuned on our myspace, 'cause many show will be published soon.
11. You seem to have only a myspace page will YAK have an official website in 2008?
As we told you before, new technologies age brings some constraints. Nowaday, all that a band needs, can be made with myspace. Websites, the last shape of 'expression of identity' left, has been devoured by myspace standards, absolutely anonymous but perfectly functional. GO! MYSPACE GO!
12. is there a story on ' Iron Flavored Candies' or just a collection of very creative tracks
It's a collection of visions. The only link is the 'anger', sometimes suffocated and many other times so clearly pure. The anger could make crazy........'SLEEP INTO THE FIRE 10 TONKPILLS IS YOUR DESIRE'
13. If YAK could collab with any artist or band who would it be and why?THE ONE, THE LAST, THE ONLY........THE MAN....MIKE PATTON!!!
14. What does the future hold musicially. With Yaks sound change or stay were its at.
Music changes continuosly and as you know, there are many artists which try newvanguard solutions and situations every day. But let we make a question to you:'how many people are ready to listen?'
15. thank you for the time any closing thoughts hereYou are one of those Clint.....
Thank you so and so much for the interview. We hope to meet you in the States asap.
