Two covers make up the new Yak single which is due for release on October 6th.

The lead track is their take on Dixie Nightingales’ All I Need Is Some Sunshine In My Life, while the b-side is a version of Wait And See by Lee Hazelwood. “A loved one departed and on the way out sent me this song, so we ended up recording a delirious version in the blistering heat of Perth,” frontman Oli Burslem remarks.

“I love the original Dixie Nightingales’ version, it reminds me of songs like Wendy Rene’s ‘After Laughter’, which I imagined was recorded in the same studio with maybe even the same people playing.”

Yak head out on a UK tour next month, starting at Green Door Store in Brighton on October 4th.
