   Yusuf Azak: General Info
Member Since4/4/2007
Influences The Beach Boys, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Bob Dylan, Salome Oggenfuss, Joey Ramone, Johnny Marr, Kieran Hebden, Belle & Sebastian, The Velvet Underground
Sounds Like'earnest, frenetic, percussion-heavy acoustica and an insistency that announces him as one to watch out for'
The List

'gorgeously intricate picked guitar and breathless vocals and sweet harmonies...A special set of songs that beg to be heard by a wider audience'
Is This Music?

'like a ghostly set of old bellows, wheezing in and out and managing to rather surprisingly generate some fantastic songs whilst doing so'
Song, By Toad

'Strings, guitars, hushed vocals, and faint percussion all swell into each other like crashing waves...occasional flurries of brilliance are allowed to filter through, equating to a short collection of tracks that is both eccentric and often delicately original'
The Skinny

'Few artists find that perfect balance of charm and grit and Glasgow singer-songwriter Yusuf Azak is one of those artists...combines beautiful harmonies and a spiritual-like rasp as well as guitar strumming not too far off from the late great Nick Drake'
Kata Rokkar

'this is one of the strongest eps I’ve reviewed in the past year...a fine lilting Scottish voice, barely a rhythm section to speak of, and some incredible guitar licks. It’s not verse chorus verse, it’s just bloody lovely
Subba-Cultcha

INCLUDING PERFORMANCE FROM 'NO BBQ' (from Australia!)


"A technicolour vortex of strangulated vocals, teeth-mashing chant and DIY trephining matched with some the most beautifully hypnotic noise/drone alchemy." -Volcanic Tongue


The event will be followed by a midnight musical parade in honour of the full moon ending at a secret subterranean location!
