Montréal-based krautrock trio Yoo Doo Right announce their debut album “Don’t Think You Can Escape Your Purpose” out May 21st via Mothland. Today, the band also share the album’s title track and music video, extracting their new touch of experimentations.

The six-minute slow-burning track gradually guides the listener through a trance like space, invoking powerful stimulus. It’s a tunnel with a heavy layer of strength and energy, pulling with a rapid speed of force into a dark state of perception. It’s a story of a lost reality and the path to a deranged state of mind.

"Title track. It’s about a person who is losing touch with reality. Who thinks he has a higher purpose, and is supposed to be an ambassador to a higher extraterrestrial race. It’s a looming atmospheric rhythm and crawl."

Since forming in 2016, Justin Cober (guitar, synthesizers, vocals), Charles Masson (bass) and John Talbot (drums, percussions), have developed a strong and vigorous approach to the psychedelia umbrella. In 2019, Yoo Doo Right started on their journey to complete their debut album with an aim and eye of new sonic horizons and pushing the krautrock, shoegaze and post-rock genres towards their ill-defined, proverbial “limits”.

The band worked along-side engineers Sebastien Fournier (Avec Le Soleil Sortant De Sa Bouche, Panopticon Eyelids, No Negative) at Hotel2Tango and Guillaume Chiasson (Ponctuation, Jesuslesfilles, Double Date With Death) at Le Pantoum, with Harris Newman (Wolf Parade, A Silver Mt. Zion, We Are Wolves) taking on mastering duties again.
