Green Yeti Announce New Album Necropolitan
Now some six years removed from their second full-length, Desert Show (review here) Greek heavy trio Green Yeti announce the coming of their new album, Necropolitan. The band were in the studio this past December putting it together, and with the unveiling of the artwork and tracklisting, they would seem to be signaling that the work is done and ready to roll out.
If you heard the last outing, you already know that’s good news. If you didn’t hear it, or it’s been a while, it’s streaming below for a refresher. Either way, that record marked a notable shift from the band’s early-2016 debut, The Yeti Has Landed, which was comprised entirely of extended songs, the shortest of which was nine minutes long — none of the other three was under 16 — as the band broke “Black Planets” and “Bad Sleep” into two parts each, still leaving the last part of the latter as a 15-minute stretch, with the 10-minute “Rojo” between.
It’s been long enough that it’s basically impossible to know whether that movement toward relatively shorter tracks was a fluke of that batch of material or emblematic of how the band will continue to develop this time out — the fact that there are seven songs on Necropolitan make me think perhaps it is — but you’ll notice that while they’re ready to show off the art and the names of the component pieces, there’s neither a release date listed, nor a lead single, nor info about whether it’ll be self-released or issued through a label. Desert Show, you might recall, came out through Cursed Tongue Records.
Their post follows as hoisted from social media:
We are very happy as we are approaching the release of our third studio album!
It is called “NECROPOLITAN” and as always it has a story to tell. The concept is inspired by the “Covid years”.
