This is 100% the best thing to have happened so far this year: Yes Giantess 'The Ruins'

In the UK it is currently a five past one in the morning. Pigeon's alarm is going to go off in a few hours, but we had to take time out of our precious sleep to write about this.

It's Yes Giantess' 'The Ruins', the demo of which was kicking around last year and the second we heard it we started to pester and pester and pester the band to find out what the release plan with it was. And now it is here and now we are all flustered and over-excited.



(SoundCloud seems to be having a few problems with the track right now - it's probably tired - but it's working fine here)

It's out on Neon Gold and you can buy it here (US) or here (UK). The usual 500 limited blah blah blah. Seriously, get this track on the radio NOW because everyone needs to hear it and it needs a full release and needs to be massive.

It was Valentine's today, and that makes us want to vomit, and we don't love any human beings, but WE LOVE THE RUINS.

Here are some words, in a list formation, explaining why:

1. It is brilliant.
2. It is brilliant.
3. The waw-waw-waw-waw refrain made on some instrument we don't know the name of, but which underpins the opening.
4. Jan Rosenfeld's vocal.
5. The bit at 2.01 where it drops out to the extent that you think "It can't have finished already, but they wouldn't have the balls to fade it out for that long...OH they really did"
6.The bit at 2.39 where it kicks back in fully.

There are remixes by Fear Of Tigers *screams* and Baby Monster *faints*. We feel like someone is doing this release with the sole intention of making our life a better place. Thank you Neon Gold.

Can you tell we are tired, and yet also bouncing up and down on our bed with excitement? Now it really is time to sleep. Oh, ok, just one more play...
