Following a thread from A Private Road, the Yes EP is a filmic journey into, through, and out of a period of lockdown, unearthing previously buried fragments and flashes of memory. It is set against a backdrop of night-time London streets, radio towers, northern inner-city streets, TV screen static, basement dance floors, and moorland roads.
Self-produced, written, and recorded in London, the EP features contributions from bassist Ben Reed, mixer TJ Allen, artists Joviale and Fabiana Palladino, and mastering engineer Noel Summerville. Drawing on jeweled 80s pop songwriting, R&B, sampling, dance, electronic music, composition for radio and TV, and soul music, the EP pieces together memory fragments through a characteristic use of soft and hazy modulation, reverbs, delays, and EQ to create a whole picture.
Yes is a deconstructed and reconstructed pop record that serves as a form of remembering and recording a thread of ever-present love.
