Yak Premiere Their 10 Minute Cinematic Epic for "Smile/Disortion"

The London band debut the first video since the release of their Plastic People EP.

What happens if you combine a rock band, Turnpike Lane Working Men's Club, two female models and a blotter of LSD tabs? The new Yak video, of course, which is a continuous ten minute epic (directed by Errol Rainey), focused around two songs, "Smile" and "Distortion", from their new EP, Plastic People, which dropped yesterday. It's basically like a seedy and absorbing UK ode to Fire Walk With Me, but with a soundtrack of snarling psychedelic rock n' roll. Oh, and then it turns into a massive trip in the woods. Which is fine by us.
