With deliberate force Yes to All’s debut EP ‘Into the Vacuum’ enters the postpunk revival scene. The band combines the tight rhythms of Marc Waanders, Hugo Boom, and Viktor Raben with moody atmospheres and synth touches to deliver sounds that feel innovative yet familiar. After Ro-Robot disbanded, the group evolved into a form that produces a more structured yet breathable dark sound. The five-track release transforms years of playing experience into music that balances accessibility with complex textures without falling into needless nostalgia.
Tension and urgency open the EP with “She Can Win”. The track is propelled by a forceful bassline and precise drum beats while Marc’s voice slices through the music as a warning call. The track demonstrates deliberate restraint which feels like it is restraining a brewing storm. The main song “Into the Vacuum” creates a dark atmosphere through its use of frosty synthesizers and machine-like percussion. The track brings to life a stunning yet desolate world that feels oddly recognizable. The track “Hang on the Lido” injects a lively yet playful sound but maintains an underlying sense of separation. The guitar lines create a hypnotic effect as they move through the groove. Then comes “Greece”, which shifts the mood. The song presents raw emotion while its core structure reflects early new wave elements. The vocal performance stands out in this track which creates a memorable moment. The track “Transition” brings the album to a conclusive end with a definitive sense of closure. The track maintains consistent layers and grows in intensity before gradually drawing to a quiet close.
