Yes have announced their 23rd studio album.
The follow-up to 2021's 'The Quest' is called 'Mirror To The Sky' and will arrive through Inside Out Music on May 19. Alongside the news, the band have shared a video for the opening track, Cut From The Stars, a lush and layered masterclass in prog-rock.
Produced by Steve Howe, Yes' longest serving member, and guitarist, the record features four songs clocking in at over eight minutes, with the title track coming in just shy of 14. Howe said:
"We kept the continuity in the approach we established on 'The Quest', but we haven’t repeated ourselves. That was the main thing. As Yes did in the seventies, from one album to another, we’re growing and moving forward. In later years, Yes often got going but then didn’t do the next thing. This album is demonstrative of us growing, and building again."
Yes recently announced that drummer Jay Schellen has joined the band on a permanent basis. following the death of Alan White in May 2022. They'll embark on a previously confirmed UK and European tour later this spring, during which they'll perform 1974's 'Relayer' in full.
The shows will be made up of two sets. The first will feature new material and favourite classic tracks from the band's huge catalogue, before they return to play 'Relayer' in full for the second set.
