Play 90 second soundbite of 'Treacle' @ 'CD quality'
Taking in influences that seem to be as far-reaching as New Order to Frank Zappa, Yes My Ninjas? take no prisoners and make no apologies! Yes My Ninja? actually don't just blur genre, they contort, they squeeze, they totally destroy whatever boundaries they come across and truly find a niche that's scarily original and pretty mind-blowin'!!
Yes My Ninjas?' press pack tells of, "...music that is at times electro-pop and at other times crushingly heavy hardcore or intensely techy drum and bass."!!!!! And that doesn't tell half the story! Yes My Ninja? go to places that most artists wouldn't even dream of visiting let alone dare to go to! And, the end result is remarkably compelling and quite amazing.
This quite strangely titled, self-released album, 'Snowy Owl', is a total mind-fuck of aural surprises that test the imagination, challenge musical normality and push back frontiers of composition. Yes My Ninja? make a mockery of 'pigeon-holing! This outfit really do defy 'rhyme and reason' but still manage to make this album something very special indeed. Ok, 'Snowy Owl' aint gonna be to everyone's taste and I'm sure Yes My Ninja? are well aware of their limited market-place. But, they throw caution to the wind and stick two fingers up at pop banality to re-invent musical experimentation twenty-first century style - they put a new meaning to 'innovation' and simply go for it - big style! And, it's absolutely superb!!
'Snowy Owl' from Yes My Ninja? is as different as it is wholesome. It's a wondrous outing of modern music that's full of twists and turns, a positive cacophony of inventive sound, texture and experience - remarkable in its audacity, stunning in its guile, suggestive, evocative, brazen, extremely challenging but massively entertaining - a real gem of contemporary musical experimentation and just fantastic all round!
