UK hard rock disruptors YONAKA have released their new single, “PANIC” today via LAVA/Republic Records. The track arrives alongside a music video, which can be seen now below.
On the single, lead singer Theresa Jarvis said, “PANIC is a song about having a panic attack and how the body gets taken over by this other entity. I’ve got the angel and the devil on my shoulders constantly arguing about which road I should go down and how mental health carries a weight so heavy that it’s hard to feel affected by outside dangers. But I want you to feel the lightness of the track and I want it to make you laugh because I’m literally having an argument with myself.”
“PANIC” bobs and weaves through honest lyrics and leads towards a magnetic and massive chant. Guitar reverberates through unpredictable beat-craft as frontwoman Theresa Jarvis confesses, “I tripped up, slipped up, did a bad thing.” The accompanying music video bottles this manic energy, translating it to the screen in a surrealist vision complete with straightjackets, creepy orderlies, a shopping cart occupied by a mannequin, and a wild shot of Theresa strapped to the front of a truck traveling at full speed.
It only paves the way for more music to come from YONAKA very soon.
Fans can catch the band live on their European and UK tour as they open for Palaye Royale from January 20th to March 5th. See full tour dates below.
