KOYO - 'Walking On Air'

KOYO tick all the right boxes on new single ‘Walking On Air’ to create their own brand of alt-rock, so it was no wonder that they caught the attention of legendary Strokes producer Gordon Raphael when he moved to Yorkshire looking for new talent. 

Mixing the right combo of energy and dark guitar riffs, creating something that sounds like if Slaves and Albert Hammond Jnr had a mental night out together. With the subtle madness being held together by a strong but simple drumbeat, working side by side with a very British modern punk vocal - this track shows us that despite the eclectic genre they have created for themselves, KOYO have firmly put themselves front of the line as one of the best new creative forces coming out of Leeds right now. 

If you like this modern take on the prog-psych genre floating about at the moment, throw it into a blender and it’ll give you KOYO. And make sure you give it a big swig!
