GREAT YTENE is the sound of four like-minded souls exploring new sonic worlds. Made up of previous members of COLOURS, with ideas and sounds moving them in a different direction, it was time for a fresh start, and so GREAT YTENE came to life.
Ideas floated between bedrooms, rehearsal spaces and recording studios and now the band are happy to share the fruits of their labour. The new single 'Happy Scenes', out on London-based Marshall Teller Records (Gross Magic, Echo Lake, Cheatahs), is a sprawling, wonder of a song, where woven guitar lines and layers of vocal melody provide the texture to a jam that is held together by the pulse of a motoric drum beat.
