YES recently shared “The Ice Bridge,” the first track from their upcoming album, and an accompanying video.
“The Ice Bridge” is the first new song by the rock band in seven years. The Quest, the new studio album from YES, is scheduled to release on InsideOutMusic/Sony Music on October 1.
The album’s producer, guitarist Steve Howe said that much of the music was written in late 2019 with the rest in 2020.
“We commissioned several orchestrations to augment and enhance the overall sound of these fresh new recordings, hoping that our emphasis on melody, coupled with some expansive instrumental solo breaks, keeps up the momentum for our listeners,” he added.
The Quest was recorded across the globe. The sessions took place in the U.K. with Howe, keyboardist Geoff Downes and singer Jon Davison, while drummer Alan White and bassist Billy Sherwood got together in the studio in the US.
The Quest is available for pre-order in various formats, including a Limited Deluxe Box-Set that features a Gatefold 180g 2LP on exclusive coloured vinyl, 2CD+Blu-ray Digipak here.
The 11-song album will also be available as Limited 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook, 2CD Digipak, Gatefold 2LP+2CD and as a Digital Album.
