Now, they are finished and a five-track EP will be released tomorrow, August 30th.: yannistheyaw.bandcamp.com -- Videographer Kit Monteith said, "“For ‘Rain Can’t Reach Us’ we decided to use it to symbolise potential futures for London, with desert sands rising up to engulf buildings and storm clouds raging in the skies above the city. I soon discovered that the pace of change registered by the eye seemed to connect with Tony Allen’s style of drumming; all the ghost notes and extra accents in his style were able to be picked out by the visual process and it was a wonderful way to highlight his playing and presence.”: www.youtube.com
