Yautja is one of the city's most recent breakout bands, exploding onto the scene several years ago and racking in the accolades (and sweet tour spots) ever since. It's been a minute since we heard anything new from the bleakly shining trio, but we're now pleased as punch to be streaming the band's new album, Songs of Lament, in its entirety.Yautja's power lies in their brains, not their muscles (though don't get it twisted—these dudes are insanely talented musicians, and bonafide heavyweights behind their respective weapons, especially their brilliant octopus of a drummer, Tyler Coburn). Their genius lies in their uncanny ability to update and innovate within a staid, tried-and-true sound like doom—sludge if you're nasty—and pep up the requisite dirges with a massive overdose of noise rock, frenetic grind, mathy hardcore, and multitudinous adventurous beats and patterns that elevate it into something else entirely.Listen to the magic for yourself right here, and grab Songs of Lament from Forcefield Records on October 13.
