Biography
Yannis & The Yaw is the music project of [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/648691-Foals]Foals[/url] frontman [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1721363-Yannis-Philippakis]Yannis Philippakis[/url]. It was formed in Paris in 2016. The project's debut EP, Lagos Paris London, was released on 30 August 2024. In 2016, Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis met up with drummer [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/9786-Tony-Allen]Tony Allen[/url] for a two-day recording session at a "smoke-filled, '70s throwback" studio in Paris. Philippakis initially anticipated the pair would make an Afrobeat record, however, they developed a profound connection and recorded music stemming from the pairs' contrasting cultures featuring rock, funk, jazz and dub influences. They were joined by Allen's regular collaborators [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/707989-Vincent-Taeger]Vincent Taeger[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/569956-Vincent-Taurelle]Vincent Taurelle[/url] and [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/569966-Ludovic-Bruni]Ludovic Bruni[/url]. In an April 2024 interview with NME, Philippakis said "I feel unburdened now," about finally having the music with Allen completed. Philippakis continued: “There has been this unfinished business that has been occupying my vision for the future. I had to finish it. Especially after Tony passed away and in the midst of COVID; it became much more of a serious project. We had to try and do it justice. It feels good, and I just people to hear it and for it to be out"
