Y reject the outdated with their new single ‘Skipper’

London-based collective Y have released their latest single, ‘Skipper’, through SO Recordings and Hideous Mink Records.

The track premiered on BBC 6 Music with Steve Lamacq, and follows the release of their self-titled debut EP, which landed earlier this year, as well as a sold-out show at the 100 Club, and sets at The Great Escape, Brighten The Corners, and Manchester Psych Festival.

Discussing ‘Skipper’, the band stated: “‘Skipper’ was an obvious choice for our next single, as we’ve always had a strong reaction from audiences, when playing it live. With this track we wanted to push the sound we’ve become known for, restless and relentless.

“Lyrically the track ‘Skipper’ addresses class divide and hierarchy in which the rich skip through a world they feel they own. It is written like an acid trip, full of word play. Sonically, ‘Skipper’ aggresses against the outdated; It takes influences from the best of the past, whilst being firmly set in the now but with an eye on the future.”
