Yes Releases 24th Studio Album, “Aurora”
Yes has returned with Aurora, marking the legendary prog rock band’s 24th studio album since their self-titled debut in 1969. With over five decades under their belt, they’re still evolving.
“Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music,” guitarist Steve Howe explains. “It’s always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn’t really a YES song. We’re not trying to echo the past; we’re carrying the spirit of YES forward and turning it into something new”.”
Aurora is driven by the mighty bass tones of Billy Sherwood, who also provided vocals and electric guitar across the compositions. Check out his groove on “Turnaround Situation”:
