In conjunction with their signing to Virgin/EMI, Yak share new track "White Male Carnivore".

Returning from their successful 2016 debut album Alas Salvation, London-based three-piece Yak are back with their punchy new track, "White Male Carnivore".

Speaking about their new offering, frontman Oli Burslem explains, "I was living in Tokyo, struggling to write and a friend advised me to write from my own point of view. So I wrote this. I listed my diet, my sex and my race - among other things. The three words which made me feel the most uncomfortable were white, male and carnivore. Everything currently seems reductive and polarising. This song is a reflection of that.”

Yak's new track arrives alongside their newly signed deal with Virgin/EMI.

"White Male Carnivore" is available now. Yak announced a UK headline tour for October, including a performance at Bethnal Green's Working Men's Club on 7 November. Find out more.
