Two new single releases

Combining the good-time rhythm section of bands like E.S.G with the grit and charm of early Stooges, The Young Shaven’s latest release, Cig No Fire, is a two-and-a-half minute dance floor scorcher that will leave anyone with a pulse shaking for more. Recorded and mixed at BAU by Yiğitcan Akçelik and mastered by Ian Button (Death in Vegas, Thrashing Doves, Go Kart Mozart) the song is guaranteed to warm your cockles quicker than a can of Aygaz.

Raise A Laugh was mixed and mastered by Ian Button (Death In Vegas) and was chosen for the charismatic video release of Red Bull Warm Up 2018. It is a street slice of verse over a dark surf riff, and with its rascally melody and relentless drum and bass groove, instantly becomes a dancy bombastic exercise in exorcism. The song has no use for middle eights and instead relies on the space created by the instruments to give drive and atmosphere, which manages to be as close to a live recording as the band has come.
