Following the release of their debut single 'Partisan' in January, South West London five-piece yawwn are back with their second single 'Be A Man'. The track was recorded between their South Wimbledon rehearsal space and the legendary Konk Studios in North London. The band teamed up once again with producer Lou E to deliver this hefty slice of indie-pop.
Rolling drum patterns open the track whilst frontman Toby Hasler-Winter sings of his insecurities when it comes to his own manhood. Space-age synths are introduced with heavily reverberated and warped guitar riffs reminiscent of yawwn's previous banger 'Partisan'. Once again the band show their excellent ability to write a killer chorus as the catchiest of vocal melodies is accentuated by luscious instrumentation.
The sound design throughout the track is to be greatly admired. Combining psych rock and synth sounds not too dissimilar to the likes of Tame Impala and GUM has given yawwn's dose of indie-pop the originality it needs. Lyrically the track is a statement on the sludge of conventional manhood and whether or not Hasler-Winter can be secure in his own feelings on the subject. This is sure to resonate with many in this modern age of insecurities.
Once again yawwn have proved they are a band of great talent. 'Be A Man' is as catchy as you like, but also drives home an important message. Be who you want to be.
