London-based 5 piece Y release their latest single ‘May’: hypnotizing and dream-like with a relentless bass and soaring sax and synth riffs.

‘May’ feels at once nostalgic, reminiscent of the glory days of grunge and refreshingly modern and pleasantly experimental. Y, composed of Sophie Coppin (vocals/synth), Adam Brennan (vocals/guitar), Dan GB (bass), Fells (drums) and Harry Mchale (sax), have fashioned a signature sound that’s difficult to ignore.

The song weaves subtle political and cultural jabs with imagery of growth and decay, pulling on both public events and private turmoil……’May’ keeps a sense of humor – a dance-while-you-cry kind of number
