HUMAN BEING

Young blood
Pumping my heart
In the parking lot
It’s all I got now

I was proud
But I was scared some
We hid in the forest
And watched the cars roll
On the highway
Eyes are blinding

Along the backroads
The dark roads
Till there were no stars
Searching searching
Till the line went dead
Message sent
Shipwrecked

Can’t move my feet
Can’t feel my face
I swear I saw you looking at me
On the other side of a crowded parade
You must be a specter
Cause you’re disappearing again

With the windows down
Can’t catch my breath
Till the city limits
The sun sets

Hours pass but I can’t rest
Arms are heavy it’s all a test
All I got now
Only heart
All I got

Can’t move my feet
Can’t feel my face
I swear I saw you looking at me
On the other side of a crowded parade
You must be a specter
Cause you’re disappearing again

Young Blood

Formed in upstate New York, now based in San Francisco, YASSOU is a six piece art pop band that makes tightly composed  music with integrity. Anchored by the mesmerizing stage presence of  lead-singer Lilie Hoy, YASSOU employs unconventional song structures, shifting time signatures, and stunning video storylines.

Compared to the likes of Radiohead and FKA twigs, Billboard has recently named YASSOU a band that “should to be on your radar”, while Delusions of Adequacy called them “what the people want.”
 
Their 2013 EP “In Fits In Dreams” garnered widespread press attention. A striking collection of songs, it features the vocals of former Smashing Pumpkins’ bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur. In 2015, they released an untitled Video EP, a six song project crafted around a singular story and emotional experience. Released in an “album cycle” of single videos, NYLON pronounced the EP as “redefining the album” in our current era of digital democracy. The videos were created and co-directed by Hoy, alongside various Bay Area artists and exemplifies YASSOU’s creative allure. 
 
YASSOU premiered their first full-length composition at the Louisville Ballet this September to standing ovations. Alongside the works of Tchaikovsky and Philip Glass, their performance is part of the 2016-17 season and was accompanied by the Louisville Symphony and the ballet’s original choreography. YASSOU began 2016 opening for The National and is now filming their next video project.
 
“You fall in love with their sound, their image, and their message all at the same time” wrote Apes on Tape in a 2015 interview. Dark yet ethereal, YASSOU embodies an art that is bold, emotional, and immediate.
