youbet has returned with a new single called ‘Deny’. It’s the first taste of new music from the Nick Llobet-led project since last year’s Way to Be, and it’s exhilaratingly fuzzed-out. Take a listen below.
“Normally, youbet songs start on the nylon string, but this time I was inspired to write on the electric guitar,” Llobet explained in a press release. “While driving around last spring we listened to a ton of Polvo, Autolux, and Boris, just to name a few. ‘Deny’ was written last April after we got home from supporting Mary Timony on tour. I was inspired to create a song that captured the energy of that time. In this way, touring is such a great learning experience. Getting in front of new audiences last year helped us develop a new sound. We fed off of the energy. I would say this song is an experiment- trying to explore some new stylistic terrain. A lot of the new songs we’re writing live in this world – ‘Deny’ is a bridge.”
