Yen – ‘Emily’ (mp3)

We hardly blog enough on pop music so here’s a piece from Sydney outfit Yen. Not much is known about these guys except that they’ve entered Triple J’s Unearthed competition which is how I found out about them. I do like a good laid back pop number every now and then and these guys do it well. They are playing the end of year Peats Ridge Festival in New South Wales. This is a ‘sustainable’ festival, where part of the shtick is that the performing musicians get paid in free tickets for their friends and family. Not my kind of thing personally but lots of people dig it.
