The Yuya

The Yuya

The Yuya release the terminally infectious ‘Kill Lucy’ on the 16th April. A song about jealousy, hatred and possibly admiration! The Jazz indie folk rythms will set up camp in your head and keep your head buzzing for hours! ‘I want to kill Lucy!’.

The YuYa are Constance Dalrymple and Eliseo Soardi, formed in 2008 after a chance meeting at a fancy dress wedding and take their name from the Japanese boys name meaning "100 nights". They play acoustic fuelled, avant-garde, toe-tapping indie-folk music.

Since their first gig in Kilburn they have played over 200 shows across the UK, Europe and Africa, including a Festival in Casamance, Senegal.

After signing to Day Job Records in early 2011, they soon released their debut single "naked" on download and limited edition 7" vinyl to instant critical acclaim.

Their debut album, A Boy, A Queen and A Fish, was recorded at Jamboree Studios in the beautiful town of Teatro Pieve di Ledro in Italy and is due for release in 2012.

The first single from the album, "It's Better" is currently available to buy on download.
