Yes Releases 24th Studio Album, “Aurora”

Yes Aurora Album Cover

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”:

Aurora is out now on CD, vinyl and as a digital download Apple Music and Amazon Music

    Question for former Rabitt performer Trevor Rabin ( I saw Mr. Rabin ) Johannesburg Best Band during mine SUFFERAGE due A Con Arti Liar SOB attempted Ruin EVERYTHING my life NEARLY TOTALLY DESTROYED from school boy British Intelligence Never told my father truth where he actually from, evading South African Mandatory Military Enlistment…told everyone after HAVING ME BUGGERRED UP BADLY that I was a Queer homosexual, he ” PUNKED ” me horribly. QUESTION pertain two songs from 1991 Union album. Lyrics: Lift me up- ….hate this town….take me to the highest mountain ….you look me up you look me down…….( this jus my opinion of summary YAWHEH YESHUA blessed my life so I also love the Spirit of GOD within the Yes group. Is this cool with you blokes mostly from the U K ? ) have you decided on my fortune ? Few lyrics are amazing and prophetic it seems. Question: did a few wives contribute lyric of the song because my father blamed me for much of my failures in South Africa because of a rotten egg school boy that hsd me beat up brain washed to reject my Jewish classmates age 13 Standard 6- 7 jus curious because women haters dont like an American much it seemed to me because our family lived during Aparteid South Africa and I also was labelled a ” Loser, a Quiter and other slanderous words” because of a school kid who dropped out after 10th grade becoming accomplished guitarist while being the biggest liar on EARTH ruining my future from age 13. My question is Why South African Authority allow the school kid that ” hatred me so much PUNKED me ” why SOUTH AFRICA allow this man favour ? There few charms nuggets of wisdom lyrics of YES, Ive always enjoyed your music like to meet the group some day if possible with mutual respect of course if not, its alright.
