NEWS: Yashira unveil “Shades Erased”!

A band we discovered through their 2018 split EP with Zao, 11th December 2020 will see the sophomore album from Yashira entitled “Fail To Be” was produced by Greg Thomas (Misery Signals, Shai Hulud), engineered and mixed by Greg Thomas and Chris Teti at Silver Bullet Studios in Burlington, Connecticut and with cover art by Jesse Draxler (Daughters, Nine Inch Nails) land in our laps. They have already given us a pair of singles from the album and a third in “Shades Erased” which features a guest appearance from Dylan Walker of Full Of Hell has just landed.

The band comment: “‘Shades Erased’ centers on the growing disparity between human and technological capabilities. At the pace technology is advancing, we’ll soon reach the point where the option of intellectual augmentation becomes a reality. Considering the likelihood that many will embrace any chance to enhance themselves, the title relates to the human condition as it’s known turning obsolete; similar to the way physical products and processes transitioned to digital formats. Writing for this record began right after Shrine was released. Seth was still with us while we were writing for this; the sound was evolving a lot from the beginning stages up to when he passed. When we decided to move forward with Ryan, all we had were very blown-out voice memo recordings of the songs, so there was a lot of necessary reworking. For the tracks to be as good as they could be, we wrote to our chemistry and strengths with Ryan, and with a much more pinpointed idea of what we wanted out of our sound, we were able to get into a groove. Recording ‘Fail To Be’ was a different experience for all of us. We’d never been in a studio setting like we were at Silver Bullet as far as putting aside three weeks to crank out a record. We learned a lot from working with Greg and Chris on so many different levels. This setting had us eating/sleeping/breathing this record, and that kind of environment brought out a focus none of us had ever known. We were all dialed in, and we think it shows. Us, Greg and Chris were able to create something we’re all very proud of making.”
