Knife Skies is the third single taken from Yukon Eras upcoming album. Released digitally on all DSPs Friday 7th September.
"'KnifeSkies' is about letting the small pressures of life get under your skin, feeling as if everything you do is like wading through mud. “You shake at the thought of breathing” is one of my favourite lines I have written because it definitely sums up where my mind was at, around the time of writing this song. The song was just a guitar and vocal demo on my laptop for a long long time. When the whole band finally got together on it it became something extremely different, something heavy and jumpy."
Since forming in high school in June of 2015 Yukon Era, through hard-work, ambition and talent have rightly carved out a name for themselves within the local and international post-punk music scenes.
Their songs are loud and melodic, quiet and chaotic. The band have created a modern and polished sound which they deliver via stubborn-ly classic garage rock. In the flesh Yukon Era's greatest asset might the bands ability to convey their well crafted tunes via a set brimming with youthful confidence to form something truly endearing, energetic and exciting.
The Auckland, New Zealand based post-punk quartet have released two well crafted EPs to critical acclaim - their first self titled EP (2016) garnered attention from Noisey and Tone Deaf and their second EP - Consume & Scratch released in late 2016 attracted interest from The New Zealand Herald, Sniffers, and The Wireless.
They were the youngest band to play the coveted annual Laneway Festival in 2017 and have opened for the likes of Mac Demarco, Preoccupations, Metz, DMA’s and Mini Mansions, and were named as one of the Top 8 Kiwi Guitar Tracks of 2016 by Impose Magazine [US], Yukon Era are:
The band, comprised of singer Christian Dimick, guitarist Lachie Thurlow, bassist Pierre Beasley and drummer James Dimick. will head out on a three date North Island tour this March to celebrate the release of their brand new single 'Feel' which is being released digitally on February the 16th. 'Feel' which was recorded at Red Bull studios in Auckland, cements the bands place in the post-punk world while showcasing their ever expanding musical development.
With the group having recently played
in Brighton UK, alongside a UK/European tour, upcoming Australian dates and a New Zealand Spring tour it's clear to all that Yukon Era are aiming high, and 2018 is going to be a big year for the band.
